New Year's Resolutions for People Living With Epilepsy
When Empowering Epilepsy appeared on Fox 8 News, people across Northeast Ohio stopped and paid attention—many saying they had never heard epilepsy talked about so openly. That moment reflects our mission. Founded by people with epilepsy, for people with epilepsy, Empowering Epilepsy supports life beyond seizures. Through free education, support groups, and community programs, we help individuals and families learn, connect, and live well.

Guest Blog: The Elephant in the Room: Talking Honestly About SUDEP
For Epilepsy Awareness Month, Empowering Epilepsy and MBBN Research created a thoughtful conversation about SUDEP and why it needs to be discussed more openly with individuals with epilepsy, families, and clinicians. The blog explains what we know from real-world data and real-world evidence, how SUDEP affects people emotionally, and why clear, patient-centered communication can make care safer.
