Curious about Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy for epilepsy? Join us for a free online educational presentation exploring VNS Therapy and its role in epilepsy management.

June 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM PT (Online)

During this session, we'll discuss:
• What VNS Therapy is and how it works
• Who may be a candidate for VNS Therapy
• Potential benefits and considerations
• What to expect from the procedure
• Common questions about living with a VNS device

VNS Therapy is one of several treatment options that may be considered for people living with drug-resistant epilepsy. Whether you're living with epilepsy, supporting a loved one, caring for someone with epilepsy, or simply interested in learning more, everyone is welcome.

Ketogenic Diet Therapy (KDT) is a medically supervised nutrition treatment that may help reduce seizures for some people living with epilepsy, particularly those with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Unlike popular “keto diets,” medical ketogenic therapy is carefully planned, monitored, and supported by a neurology team and registered dietitian to ensure safety and effectiveness.

While it is not a cure, KDT can be an important part of a broader epilepsy management plan for some individuals.

At ESEBC, we encourage informed conversations and collaboration with healthcare professionals when exploring treatment options. 💜 Visit esebc.ca for more information and resources.

More people than ever are searching online for answers about epilepsy and seizures. While information can be helpful, sometimes what people really need is connection, understanding, and the chance to speak with someone who gets it. 💜

At ESEBC, our One-to-One Support and Epilepsy Connect programs offer supportive spaces to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with real people.

You don’t have to navigate epilepsy alone.

You are more than epilepsy. 💜

Epilepsy is part of your life, but it does not define your limits, your potential, or who you are as a person. Every journey is different, and every experience deserves understanding, respect, and support.

At ESEBC, we are here to support people living with epilepsy and seizures, along with the families and communities who walk alongside them.
