Welcome to the Epilepsy Niagara Team, Stacey!!
Epilepsy Niagara has recently acquired funding from the Niagara Community Foundation to run a pilot "Pre & Post Employment" program designed
specifically for those living with epilepsy!
The program starting on February 14, 2012, will prepare participants to enter (or re-enter) the workforce by providing a seminar and workshops designed to
empower, educate and build confidence. This program will assist people in learning whether they’re ready to enter the workplace, or for a different path, such
as school.
There is still time to sign up! Call Kristin at 905-353-1096 to sign up
for more information on this program
