VIRTUAL SUPPORT GROUPS
PSYCHOGENIC NON-EPILEPTIC SEIZURES (PNES) SUPPORT GROUP
Our PNES online support group will be resuming in September of 2020.
Third Tuesday of the month from 12-1PM
The group is for patients at our NEREG PNES program diagnosed with PNES who have completed treatment or who are advanced in their current treatment. Unfortunately, the group is not open to anyone who has not gone through our treatment program because the demand would be too great for our conference call. The group meets to touch base, to go over current problems that may have arisen for group members associated to PNES, for general support and comradery, and to continue to be part of the PNES community. To register or obtain more information: lmyers@epilepsygroup.com
EPILEPSY SUPPORT GROUP
One Wednesday per month from 12-1PM
The group is for persons with epilepsy who wish to connect virtually with others also living with epilepsy. The group meets to touch base, to go over challenges that may have arisen for group members associated to epilepsy, for general support and camaraderie. To register or obtain more information: lmyers@epilepsygroup.com
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 a facilitator who is knowledgeable about psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
• Confidential.
• Participation in this facilitated discussion is expected and encouraged. You are not on camera, so come in your PJs.
• FREE
CONTACT INFORMATION
If you are a NEREG patient, have epilepsy and would be interested in a similar group, please contact lmyers@epilepsygroup.com. In the past, we tried to establish an on-line group like this for our patients with epilepsy but there was limited attendance-but who is to say that we can't try again and with better results?
