New Zealand Epilepsy education petition
Hello,
I'm currently running a petition through parliament to make epilepsy education, training and awareness mandatory in schools. I believe that there is a significant lack of education around the issue in schools, that many students are unsure of what to do when someone has a seizure, and that people often treat people living with epilepsy differently. I want to make New Zealand students who are living with epilepsy, no matter how bad their symptoms, feel more accepted in school rather than judged or isolated. I want them to know that if they were to have an unexpected seizure they are in a safer environment. I would greatly appreciate any signatures and support!
