Peer-to-Peer Social Group

The Epilepsy Durham peer-to-peer program is a virtual program that meets every other week. This virtual social drop-in-style group allows adults who are aged 18 or older and diagnosed with epilepsy to socialize, network, and make connections The goal of this program is to provide Durham Region residents who are diagnosed with epilepsy or a seizure disorder a safe place to meet and socialize with others that understand the demands of the diagnosis. We encourage people affected by epilepsy in Durham Region to join the group and share their experience.

 

Peer-to-Peer Specialized Group

This monthly peer-to-peer group is focused on being both educational and social.  In this group program, members can gain feedback from others on how to cope with specific issues that impact those with Epilepsy. When people affected by epilepsy share their experiences and opinions, we can then use these to create programs and educational materials that are relevant to current issues and hot topics.
