About the event
It can be tough accepting that your epilepsy diagnosis means taking self-care seriously as a young adult. Unfortunately, we know that skipping a med or not sticking to a sleep routine will most definitely lower your seizure threshold and you're pressing your luck. It's not fair that your friends can "get by" on little sleep, cramming for an exam through the night or complain of hangovers. These "rites of passage" rituals just can't be part of our lifestyle. However, being disciplined, exercising self-care & self-love at this age definitely gives you a leg up - these types of reckless behaviors catch up with everyone eventually.
In this workshop we'll talk about this topic in depth, share tips on routines & self-care. Join your Young Adult Epilepsy community with a pro who gets it (LMFT who lives with Epilepsy) and co-lead with a Young Adult living with Epilepsy. We hope to see you there!
