**This event has been cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience**

If you are a parent of a child recently diagnosed with epilepsy and are living in the Mid-West, we would like to invite you to a special information session we are hosting.

The session will be hosted by our local Community Resource Officer Veronica Bon and will involve a brief input from Veronica about epilepsy and a demonstration on how to administer the emergency medication ‘Buccal Midazolam’.  With the event being in-person, there will also be an opportunity to meet other parents in a similar situation to you and discuss concerns or challenges you might be experiencing with your child’s recent diagnosis.

The session will also be rounded off by a short mindfulness session for parents who wish to participate. Epilepsy Ireland have been running mindfulness sessions since the beginning of the year, and many parents/carers have found the practice a useful tool in managing the stresses and anxieties that are associated with caring for a child with epilepsy.

There will also be tea, coffee, and refreshments available on the day.

If you have any questions about this event, please call Veronica on 0858766629. We look forward to welcoming you on the morning!
