Family & Individual Support Groups

One of the goals of the Epilepsy Foundation of Rochester-Syracuse-Binghamton is to help individuals and their families with epilepsy and related disabilities, and those dealing with traumatic brain injuries, reach their potential. Support groups provide opportunities for sharing feelings, for problem solving, and for networking with individuals in similar circumstances. Please take a look at the current support groups, listed by county and schedules to find the group that best meets your needs.
