Now that school is back in session, it’s a great time to encourage your child’s teachers, nurses, coaches, administrators, and other school staff to learn seizure recognition and first aid!

Knowing what to do when a seizure happens can help keep students safe, reduce fear and stigma, and give school staff the confidence to respond appropriately.

👉 Encourage your child’s school to get trained today! Check out our September school seizure recognition and first aid trainings here: https://www.efepa.org/educationalopportunities/
