Exciting changes coming to NEREG Support Groups

Exciting changes coming to NEREG Support Groups

VIRTUAL SUPPORT GROUP for NEREG patients diagnosed with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)-members must have completed treatment to be invited to join

The NEREG Virtual Support groups provide a forum that facilitates and promotes the sharing of common interests, information, and experiences within the PNES community. These online groups allow you to participate in support activities when you are unable to attend a local support meeting in person; and are managed by qualified facilitators knowledgeable on Epilepsy-related topics. During these sessions, you have the opportunity to speak with other participants, seek advice, make friends, discover new ideas, share your experiences -- good and bad, and help support others managing psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.  

Joining a group is easy!

Benefits:

• All 60-minute sessions are held through GoToMeeting® 

• Each group is kept small in order to encourage friendship and optimal discussion time (8-10 participants.)

• All groups are led by an experienced facilitator who is knowledgeable about Epilepsy.

• Confidential.

• Participation in this facilitated discussion is expected and encouraged. You are not on camera, so come in your PJs.

• FREE 

We ran epilepsy support groups for many years both in-person and on-line but due to limited attendance, these groups were discontinued.  If you would like for us to reconsider opening an epilepsy support group again, please email lmyers@epilepsygroup.com
