| Long Description : |
The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota strives to enhance the quality of life of those affected by seizures. 1 in 10 Americans have had or will experience a seizure at some point in their life, and children under the age of 18 make up the largest percentage of new epilepsy cases. Therefore, anyone working with children should be aware of the changes in first aid for seizures. In an effort to create awareness and acceptance of those living with epilepsy, the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota offers FREE educational programs on Seizure Recognition and First Aid for businesses, group homes, health professionals, school personnel, and childcare workers. The one-hour training covers the causes of epilepsy, prevention and first aid for seizures, and the primary types of seizures. The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota also provides student education programs, advocacy and support services, information and referral, and youth and family programs. To set up a free training for your staff or to inquire about our other programs and services, please call Tracy Reardon at 651-287-2312 or Angie Wiesner at 651-287-2313. |
