About Us

Epilepsy Niagara is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with, and affected by epilepsy. We provide all 12 municipalities within the Niagara Region with support services, education and awareness programs.

Epilepsy Niagara provides empowerment counselling, online support groups, social groups, peer connections, peer mentors, workshops, education presentations, and in-service seizure first aid training.

Hours of operation:

We are open Monday to Thursday 9-2:30pm. We are closed Fridays, weekends and holidays.

As we are a small organization, there may be times where we are at meetings or events outside of the office, leaving Epilepsy Niagara closed. It is recommended that you make an appointment for support services via telephone or email.
