Welcome to our final Brainwaves for 2023.
As Tasmania’s voice for epilepsy, we will continue to listen to you and advocate on behalf of Tasmanians affected by epilepsy. I extend a sincere thank you to everyone who has taken interest in the Tasmanian epilepsy community this year.
As we enter the Christmas holiday season, many places close and the way we connect and belong can take on different meanings and activities. For some, Christmas becomes a busy time with family and friends. For others, it becomes a time when we find ourselves with less activity, and whilst this quiet time can be welcome, it can equally be unwelcome, leaving some people feeling unconnected to others and those activities they need and want. Staying in touch with the people around us, or perhaps joining in with activities in our community are some ways we can lessen any sense of isolation.
I trust your Christmas is safe, joyful and meaningful.
Kind regards
CEO Epilepsy Tasmania
