This course looks at possible risks in the home, outdoor and work environments. The interactive activities demonstrate practical ways to reduce risks for someone with epilepsy. There is also a section related to supporting others and managing if a seizure occurs in a public area.
In Australia, around 1 in 150 people are currently diagnosed with epilepsy – so chances are most people know someone with the condition. While epilepsy is relatively common, it is widely misunderstood, and many people do not know what to do in case of a seizure.
Do you want to know more about epilepsy and what to do if a seizure occured? It is interactive in an easy to follow format, with real video examples and your questions answered. This is a must for introduction to epilepsy plus a bit more.
