Epilepsy Foundation Alabama

Our vision is so no one faces epilepsy alone.

Epilepsy Foundation Alabama is a statewide nonprofit leading the way to improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy through education, advocacy, research, and connection. Epilepsy affects 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide, but the lives of family members, friends and co-workers are also deeply affected. The goal of the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama is to help you understand

more about the neurological disorder and to share with you the new treatments available while providing programs and services to the public. We offer services for families, schools, employers and public health workers that engage and educate individuals in order to raise awareness and reduce the stigmas and myths associated with seizures and epilepsy.

Epilepsy Foundation Alabama recently partnered with Housing and Residential Communities, The University of Alabama to provide Seizure Recognition & First Aid Training to Resident Advisors.

More than 20% of UA Resident Advisors have completed the training, giving more students on campus the knowledge and confidence to recognize and respond to a seizure.

We’re especially proud to work alongside Elaina Burt, Epilepsy Foundation Alabama Ambassador and founder of Students for Epilepsy Support and Education (SESE) at UA, whose advocacy continues to bring greater awareness and support for students living with epilepsy.
