Since EFCST was founded in 1993, thousands of people with epilepsy and their families have received information and/or have benefited from the comprehensive medical, educational, and social services offered by EFCST. Epilepsy affects all aspects of a person’s life. Learning to cope with and manage epilepsy takes a coordinated effort by family, friends, teachers, and managers in the workplace. All of the Foundation’s programs are designed to help people reach their full potential and enhance their sense of self worth.
