The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation®

At The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation®, our mission is to provide the advocacy and educational resources needed to the epilepsy community and our society. We are dedicated to removing the stigma associated with epilepsy and help to create opportunities for individuals requiring epilepsy support.

About the Foundation

At The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation®, we believe every individual living with epilepsy deserves access to quality support, healthcare, education, and meaningful employment opportunities. As a leading epilepsy nonprofit, our dedicated team works tirelessly to advocate for the essential resources needed to improve the lives of those affected by epilepsy.

Through epilepsy education programs, community outreach, and awareness campaigns, we empower individuals and families to better understand seizure disorders and find the support they need. Our foundation is committed to building a strong, ethical, and compassionate community where people with epilepsy can thrive.

We focus on providing reliable resources, and connecting individuals with epilepsy and their families to support groups and advocacy networks. By fostering education, raising epilepsy awareness, and promoting inclusion, we strive to create lasting change and help every person with epilepsy achieve their full potential.

Join us in our mission to defeat epilepsy and build a brighter, more supportive future for all.
