From our years of serving the epilepsy community, we know how the condition has its own challenges for the individuals living with it. Memory issues can be common amongst people with epilepsy – due to the nature of seizures and potential side effects from medications.
There are techniques and resources which can help aid a person’s memory throughout their journey with epilepsy. This is why we are offering this special event for adults with epilepsy which focuses on memory. The event will take place during Brain Awareness Week 2026 and we are delighted to be joined by Occupational Therapist, Mary O’Sullivan.
Mary is the occupational therapist based at the Memory Technology Resource Room in Baile Mhuire, Tralee, Co Kerry. Memory Technology Resource Rooms are an HSE-led project and are available in locations nationwide. Their aim is to improve the lives of people who experience memory difficulties. With her involvement in this project, Mary will bring a wealth of experience on memory techniques for those in attendance.
If you are an adult living with epilepsy and are interested in attending this event, you can see how to register below.
We look forward to welcoming you virtually to this event and should you have any questions on this event, please contact our Community Resource Officer Catherine Caffrey on ccaffrey@epilepsy.ie.
