Mission & Vision
Building a community where no one faces epilepsy alone — through advocacy, education, and genuine support.
Our Mission
Advocate. Educate. Support.
Three commitments guide everything we do: we advocate for our community, educate to break down stigma, and support one another so no one faces epilepsy alone.
Educate
Clear, accessible information on seizures, first aid, and living well — for patients, families, and the wider community. Be informed.
Support
Welcoming support groups and genuine connection for people with epilepsy, their families, and caregivers. Be supported.
Our Vision
Where we're headed
We're growing beyond the meeting room — taking advocacy, education, and support out into the community through new initiatives built around A.E.S.
University lectures
Bringing epilepsy education to local colleges and universities — guest lectures and talks that reach students and the wider campus community.
Education in our meetings
Every support-group meeting includes a learning component — seizure first aid, treatment options, and living well — so members leave more informed each time.
Local community events
Hosting awareness events across Bakersfield and Kern County to advocate, educate, and support people affected by epilepsy where they live.
