The mission of the Iowa Epilepsy Youth Council is to improve the understanding and awareness of seizures among their peers and educators. The purpose of the youth council is to educate, empower and to eliminate social stigma. The youth council is a group of teenagers and young adults who collaborates with the Epilepsy Foundation’s Iowa office to eliminate stigma and uphold the mission of the Epilepsy Foundation through youth oriented projects and programming. The youth will attend health fairs in the state, promoting epilepsy education and awareness and participating in some selected seizure trainings for social service groups and schools.
