| Epilepsy Community Action Groups |
All our group meetings are informal. The format followed is one of discussion, sharing, and learning from each other. Occasionally a guest with special skills is invited. This might be a pharmacist, a physiotherapist, a community services worker, etc. If you need further information on support options that are available in your area, you can contact EANS at 1-902-429-2633, toll free at 1-866-374-5377, or via e-mail. |
