Challenging stigma campaign

New research shows that there is still a disappointing lack of public awareness about epilepsy.

Epilepsy Society has pledged to tackle the issue head on and to change attitudes once and for all.

Find out about our  challenging stigma and public perceptions campaign and learn how you can get involved.

Listen to the stories of our stigma champions.

We know it can be hard to pick up the phone and ask for support but, for the 5,500 people who call our confidential epilepsy helpline every year, this service is a real lifeline.
