Epilepsy Toronto is a non-profit organization that has been supporting people living with epilepsy for the last 50 years. In 1956, a small group of parents with a steadfast belief in their children’s rights founded the group. Today the organization prioritizes community engagement and individual focus. Epilepsy Toronto serves families within the GTA with a range of tailored programs that support people living with epilepsy to live independent lives and provides specific supports that help their families and community to learn about more about epilepsy and its impact. Through Epilepsy Toronto's programs, individuals have the opportunity to meet others who have the same condition and to increase awareness to the broader community. The organization's philosophy is one of inclusion and empowerment and its goal is to have members feel connected whether they are in need of services or are at a place where they can help others in need of support.
