Join an online epilepsy support group session.
If you are unsure of which group would best suit you, please register your interest with the National Epilepsy Support Service on 1300 761 487 or via the client contact form for further assistance.
Who facilitates the groups?
Each group will have a volunteer peer-led support facilitator, who has a lived experience of epilepsy; and who will be responsible for planning, organising and facilitating peer-led activities within groups. Their role is to continuously monitor, moderate and model positive group interactions, to ensure all participants feel safe, heard, understood and included.
What will I get out of being involved in peer support?
Peer-led support is a free service, designed to be empowering and inclusive. As the name suggests, the participants, or peers, lead the conversation.
You will be welcomed into a neutral, friendly, supportive and non-judgmental community.
Please note, the Peer-led Support program is not a counselling service, and does not provide medical advice or crisis support.
If you would like to participate in the Epilepsy Smart Australia peer-led support groups, please contact the National Epilepsy Support Service on 1300 761 487 or complete the client contact form.
