Master the Essentials of Self-Management: Skills, Support, and Resilience for Epilepsy Caregivers

Self-management means having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to actively manage epilepsy and its impact on everyday life. For caregivers, it also means building the ability to support a loved one’s seizure control, safety, and well-being—while maintaining their own health and resilience. This includes confronting stigma, advocating effectively, and creating daily routines that work for both caregiver and loved one.
