Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario is a registered not-for-profit and charitable agency dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals affected by epilepsy. Their mission is to provide a range of support services, education programs, advocacy, and community awareness initiatives. They cater to individuals in the Erie-St.

Clair and Southwest LHIN region, which includes counties such as Windsor, Essex, Sarnia, and Chatham-Kent, where approximately 14,000 people have been diagnosed with epilepsy. The impact of an epilepsy diagnosis goes beyond the individual and affects their entire family. Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario is committed to educating communities about epilepsy and seizure first aid, debunking misconceptions and eliminating the stigma surrounding epilepsy.

They offer various programs and services, including clinics, support groups, workplace support, classroom presentations, research studies, and a summer camp. Since their inception in 1966, Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario has grown significantly. They work closely with the Epilepsy Programs at London Health Sciences Centre to ensure that the non-medical needs of individuals living with epilepsy are met.

Volunteer support is crucial to the success of their events and programs, and they are always looking for dedicated volunteers to join their team. Contact Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario today to find out how you can get involved in making a difference in the lives of those affected by epilepsy
