Next PEPE course 16 March 2012

PEPE is a Psycho Educative Programme about Epilepsy designed for people with a learning disability.

This multimedia course runs over eight weeks with groups of around ten participants. PEPE was designed by Dr. Bernd Huber in Germany. It was then translated and remade in English at the Epilepsy Society. Pilot courses have been positively evaluated by service users. Facilitator training takes place at Epilepsy Society in Buckinghamshire with 8-10 delegates per day. Training can also be delivered off-site by prior arrangement. For more information, visit our PEPE courses page.
