SUDEP Action Day

 

  • Encourage people with epilepsy to learn about SUDEP and their individual risk
  • Show what is currently being done to tackle SUDEP
  • Promote ways people can manage their epilepsy to reduce their risk
  • Highlight the need for more research into SUDEP to help save lives
  • Raise public awareness about SUDEP
  • Honor the lives of those we have lost

SUDEP Action Day is your opportunity to talk about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy with your healthcare provider and the epilepsy community. Only by talking about SUDEP, what it is, and how to prevent it, can we help to make a difference and reduce risk. Have honest conversations about SUDEP risks and prevention. 

Find out how to have the conversation with your medical professional with our brochure, Asking Questions About SUDEP.
