In partnership with The European House-Ambrosetti, we launched Headway: A new roadmap in Brain Health, a project that aims to create a common ground for strategic reflection and dialogue on Epilepsy and Mental Health, as experienced from different European perspectives. Today 1st July, Headway is in Helsinki, welcoming local and global experts to talk about the implementation of the Intersectoral Global Action Plan on epilepsy & other neurological disorders (IGAP), with a special focus on how to break the barriers of stigma, fostering inclusion and rights for people with epilepsy. #AngeliniPharma #EveryStepCloser #WithYouInMind

Today, on National Epilepsy Day, we acknowledge epilepsy's impact on individuals, families, and society. 💜 Epilepsy, a neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide, is defined by sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. While there's no cure, effective treatments enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives. But still, there is a stigma around it and society looks down on the people suffering from Epilepsy. This year's theme, "Seizures of the Mind: Understanding Epilepsy and Creating an Inclusive World," calls for empathy and acceptance. Let's build a world where everyone, regardless of their journey with epilepsy, lives free from stigma and discrimination. 🌐💙 #nationalepilepsyday #EpilepsyAwareness #InclusiveWorld

Did you know seizures come in many forms? Let's explore the diverse nature of epilepsy, a condition that goes beyond what meets the eye. Epilepsy isn’t just one disorder; it's an umbrella term for various types of neurological disorders that cause seizures. And these seizures? They're not always the convulsive episodes we often picture. Contrary to popular belief, seizures aren't always dramatic convulsions. They can manifest as moments of confusion, altered sensations, or even brief lapses in consciousness without visible shaking. Understanding these complexities is crucial. Learn more about this condition and its impact by visiting https://lnkd.in/gDfj-pf4 Share your stories and insights and together, let's spread understanding and support for those living with epilepsy. #EpilepsyAwareness #DiverseSeizures #UnderstandingEpilepsy #CompassionateCommunity #WamplerAdvocacy #DisabilityEducation #CompassionForAll #TheWamplerFoundation #Diversity #Inclusion #StephenJWamplerFoundation
