An Epilepsy Foundation survey showed teens' lack of understanding
about epilepsyseizure disordersand the stigma
that can result. Since then, the Foundation has conducted
an annual campaign called Entitled to Respect, which
seeks to raise awareness about epilepsy among youth ages
10 to 18, reduce the stigma associated with the disorder
and encourage respect for young people with epilepsy.
The Entitled to Respect campaign encourages youth
to express what they think "respect" is all about.
For more information about this campaign, please contact
Mary Ann Maurey, Production Assistant for the Epilepsy
Foundation.
