Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures. These seizures are sudden bursts of electrical activity that can affect movement, awareness, emotions, or behavior — and no two people experience them exactly the same.
While epilepsy is one of the most common brain conditions, it’s also one of the most misunderstood. That’s why BTC is proud to support individuals and families navigating epilepsy — not only with education and tools, but with empathy and lived experience.
With the right care, support, and mindset tools, people with epilepsy can live full, independent, and empowered lives.
“This is a no-cost service offered with love and lived experience through BTC.”
