Master the Essentials of Self-Management: Seizure Safety, Trigger Awareness, and Daily Living Skills

Self-management means having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to actively manage epilepsy and its impact on everyday life. For people with epilepsy, this includes knowing how to respond to seizures quickly and safely, recognizing and reducing triggers, and addressing challenges such as memory issues that can affect seizure control.
