Education and Training

If you are newly diagnosed (or immediate family of someone who is) and looking to understand your diagnosis then we have you covered.  Our 50 years of experience in supporting people to live well has been packaged into our Understanding and Managing Epilepsy workshop.

We currently offer this monthly in our Brisbane office and also via zoom for those not in Brisbane.  Our expert team of educators will share our expertise and help reduce fear, give confidence in identifying and responding to seizures and support you and your family to live well with your diagnosis.

If you are a support worker, educator, nurse, or other professional who has someone living with epilepsy in your care then this is the training for you.  Tailored to the care setting, this version of the Understanding and Managing Epilepsy training draws on our experience of building capability in organisations to help others to live well.

You can choose between self-directed on-line learning, participate with your peers from across Brisbane in our monthly public training or for groups of 10 or more contact our Living Well team on 1300 852 853 or epilepsy@epilepsyqueensland.com.au  to customise learning for your workplace either at our place or yours, or via Zoom.
