Len’s EpilepsySD Story

Why it was helpful to find community before relocating to San Diego.

Relocating to a city can leave anyone feeling vulnerable, especially when someone lives with epilepsy. So, it can be a huge uplift to connect with others with similar lived experiences before establishing new roots.

“I was able to gain a feeling of community before I moved to the area,” said Len. For Len, being able to attend our series of Epilepsy Support Groups online and in real time has made an impact because they were able to reach many people ahead of moving to San Diego.

“It was great to feel that local connection, and see and hear stories about how I’m not alone in my disability from the moment I relocated to the area,” said Len.
