Advocacy

The Epilepsy Foundation Northwest has an active grassroots advocacy network where consumers effect change in the social service delivery system at the local, state, and national levels. Development of services are provided by individual advocacy and systems advocacy.

For further information on who represents you, please contact the League of Women Voters.

At the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest, we believe that by raising the level of awareness and teaching the general public about epilepsy, we can help reduce the fear and stigma associated with the disorder. If you are interested in advocating for epilepsy, please contact Alta Hancock at (888) 828-7651 extension 2.

Speak Up, Speak Out

Joining the National Epilepsy Foundation's Speak Up, Speak Out campaign is a great way to get the latest information about federal and state issues that affect people with epilepsy and their families. It also provides a convenient and simple way for you to contact your legislators to educate them about epilepsy and to tell them how the decisions they make can have an impact on you.
