When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy, everything changes in an instant. Seizures are unpredictable. Nothing feels safe. Children can become frightened of their own bodies. Families are left overwhelmed, afraid and unsure about what comes next. But too often, support ends at the point of diagnosis. Families are given life-changing news — then left to cope alone.
