Completed applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis. Accepted participants will receive an email with instructions for joining the chat.

Teens

Here's a chance to connect with others like you, ask questions, and learn how they manage their seizures with school, friends, sports, and other interests.

It’s amazing when you talk with other kids who understand what you are talking about. They really get what it’s like to have seizures and I don't feel so alone.

Parents

Help your teens meet others with seizures and learn effective ways to cope with epilepsy. The first meeting will require your participation in a chat room where epilepsy.com moderators will provide an orientation and demonstrate the technology.
