Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that epilepsy impacts more than seizures alone. Anxiety, depression, isolation, sleep disruption, stigma, medication side effects, restrictions, and uncertainty can deeply affect emotional well-being and quality of life.

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan, we believe mental health care is an important part of epilepsy care.

Depression and anxiety are among the most common challenges experienced by people living with epilepsy and Functional Seizures (PNES). If you are struggling, please know: you are not alone, and support is available.

We have helped build a network of mental health professionals across Michigan who understand the complex connection between seizures and mental health. These providers have participated in training focused on seizures and mental health to better support individuals and families affected by epilepsy and PNES.

Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Healing happens through connection, understanding, and care — and there is hope.

Every summer, something special happens in Michigan.

Kids with epilepsy—many of whom have spent their whole lives feeling different—show up to camp and realize, maybe for the first time, that they're not alone.

That's Kids Camp. A free, week-long overnight camp for children ages 7–15 living with epilepsy (and their siblings). No cost. No barriers. Just community, connection, and a whole lot of fun.

But here's what makes it all possible: medical volunteers.

We need nurses and other medical professionals on-site to ensure every camper is safe, so they can just focus on being a kid.

If you're a healthcare professional with a week this summer and a heart for this community, we want to hear from you. This is one of those volunteer opportunities you'll talk about for years.
