Whether you have epilepsy or care for someone with epilepsy, our free peer support service is an easy and confidential way to speak to others who have been there.
Talking with people who have had similar experiences can help you feel more understood and less alone.
Trained volunteers who have personal experience with epilepsy and are backed by our team of health professionals are available to:
- offer emotional and practical support
- discuss concerns and challenges
- provide a better understanding of what to expect
Please note that Epilepsy Connect is not a medical service and peers are unable to provide medical advice.
Two peer-support Facebook groups that are moderated by Epilepsy Connect include:
13 to 24-year-old Tasmanians and Tasmanian Families and Friends
Your privacy is very important to us. Your name and contact details will not be shared with any person outside of Epilepsy Tasmania without your permission. If you need help filling in this form, please call Epilepsy Tasmania on 03 6344 6881.
