Cronutt, an 8-year-old sea lion, battled epilepsy that meds couldn’t control. But thanks to a groundbreaking brain cell transplant, he’s now living seizure-free and crushing it at Six Flags (yes, he’s in the show lineup!). #epilepsy #EpilepsyAwareness #YoungAdultsWithEpilepsy

Living with epilepsy can mean being forcefully placed on the defense and becoming an advocate. This workshop highlights the skills needed to become an effective advocate and emphasizes building the self-esteem, self-confidence, and respect that you deserve.

Big news!The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) just finalized a rule that bans medical debt from showing up on credit reports and stops lenders from using it to make decisions. For those of us managing conditions like epilepsy, it’s a huge step toward financial fairness.
