About this organization
Mission
Serving the San Diego community since 1954, the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County leads the fight to stop seizures, save lives, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy through education, advocacy and research. We envision an informed community in which people with epilepsy and seizure disorders enjoy respect, dignity, and the opportunity to achieve their full potential free from stigma and bias. Programs and services include: individual and family counseling and advocacy, summer camp for children and teens, scholarships, support groups, school nurse trainings, teen outreach, public awareness campaigns, epilepsy education conferences, family programs, trainings and in-services for teachers and caregivers and expert speaker seminars. There is no charge for our programs and services which work to: * Improve self-esteem and social skills of children and adults with epilepsy. * Increase individual and public understanding about the potential and needs of those with epilepsy regarding education, employment, recreation, and housing. * Promote equal opportunity in employment and full participation in life. * Increase awareness of the legal rights of persons with epilepsy. * Promote prevention and early recognition of epilepsy. Historically, the neurological disorder has been surrounded with stigma. Individuals with epilepsy were stereotyped and isolated from society. Today we know epilepsy is incredibly individualized; it can occur at any stage in life, and affects each person differently. One third of individuals are not able to control their seizures with diet or medications, while others continue to struggle with treatments and an unexplainable diagnosis. Much more research is needed to understand the cause and eventually find a cure. The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County strives to create a supportive epilepsy community in which San Diegans affected by epilepsy do not feel alone.
