Community education continues to play an
important role in the work of the Epilepsy Foundation of East
Tennessee. Over 2.3 million Americans are diagnosed with
epilepsy or seizure disorders. Of those, over 42,000 live in the 24
counties we serve in East Tennessee.
- School Alert programs are designed to educate school
personnel and students of effective ways to detect and cope
with epilepsy, both in the classroom and the community
at-large. Classroom and in-service presentations are
available free of charge to all schools, both public and
private, throughout East Tennessee. School Alert
presentations are informative and appropriate for all ages
and grade levels;
- Professional programs are designed to
educate community leaders, including law enforcement
officers, health care professionals, business professionals
and social service providers and are great for day care
facilities or civic clubs (We are DHS approved);
- Participation in local health fairs and community events
increase awareness and encourage understanding and education
about proper Seizure First Aid.
