Client & Family Support Services

This program offers client and family support services for individuals diagnosed with epilepsy, their families, and the community at large. Case managers provide information and referral, comprehensive case management, advocacy, counseling, financial planning assistance, support groups, medical liaison and community education to approximately 36 registered consumers who live independently or with family. Unregistered consumers may also call for information, and the agency serves approximately 650 of these individuals a year.

Anyone who contacts the Epilepsy Foundation of Southwestern Illinois is provided with the most up-to-date information on epilepsy resources in the community. In addition, a newsletter is published three times a year with up-to-date epilepsy information for approximately 1,300 individuals and organizations.
