Brainwave offices nationwide
Brainwave, The Irish Epilepsy Association, was founded in 1967 to help and support people with epilepsy, their families and friends; to improve understanding of epilepsy and eliminate prejudice and misunderstanding about the condition. It also aims to encourage and assist research into the causes and treatments of epilepsy and to promote an awareness of the need for education and rehabilitation.
Education and information
Brainwave provides a range of information leaflets and literature about epilepsy and organises regular meetings, talks and seminars on different aspects of the condition.
An epilepsy newsletter is provided for members of Brainwave to keep them up to date on developments in the field of epilepsy and on the work of the association. Brainwave also acts as an advocate for the interests of the people with epilepsy on specific legal and welfare issues that affect them as a group.
Brainwave provides a community epilepsy specialist nurse telephone helpline. This operates on Mondays and Wednesdays between 9.30am and 1pm at 01-4554133.
Employment and rehabilitation
Brainwave provides support and information on all aspects of training and employment for people with epilepsy. With funding from FAS, the training and employment authority, the association organises a training course for young people to help them make up for whatever difficulties they may have experienced as a result of developing epilepsy and to assist them to progress to further training and employment.
Research
Brainwave encourages epilepsy research in Ireland and provides support for research into the causes and treatment of epilepsy and its social and educational implications.
