The Epilepsy Association of Utah is committed to outstanding service in the Utah community. It is our desire to facilitate the support between individuals in the community. Support groups provide education and information as well as emotional support. Come and learn about epilepsy, share your feelings, or just listen. Family members and friends are also welcome to attend.
Recently, Epilepsy Association of Utah augmented its services by increasing the number of support groups in Utah. Our long standing support group in Sandy is doing an amazing job! We have added a second support group in Utah County, and the third in Vernal, with our fourth beginning in St. George. We are also in the process of training and developing a support group for youth and newly diagnosed patients in the Salt Lake area. All support groups are free of charge and welcome to anyone interested.
