Seizure Action Plan Coalition
All adults and children with Epilepsy need to have a Seizure Action Plan (SAP), especially those with new-onset epilepsy and those with ongoing frequent seizures.
A SAP lets others know what to do in an emergency situation. Get started today at SeizureActionPlans.org and join the conversation with #SAPAW2023.
Reduce potentially unnecessary emergency healthcare needs by creating a SAP. It could save your life or your child's life. Already have a SAP? Make sure it's updated.
The end of the year holidays is meant to be a time of joy, of family, of friends gathering, of candy canes, wrapping paper and presents. But for those going through a family crisis of serious illness, homelessness, abuse, and other family crisis, it is not the happiest of times, especially for the kids.
​
This is where our community partner A Lot of Good hosts the Winter Wonderland Project and makes a real difference during the holiday season.
