Epilepsy Community Hubs Overview
We’re excited to share more about our Community Hubs initiative, created for individuals impacted by epilepsy and seizures.
This program offers a dedicated virtual spaces, providing a supportive environment where people can connect, share experiences, and access helpful resources.
Our first online hub, the Interior Community Hub, is already active and supporting members across the region. It focuses on key topics such as seizure management, mental health, daily living strategies, and regional resources. As the program grows, additional hubs will be introduced across other regions in BC to expand support and strengthen community connection.
About the Epilepsy Community Hubs
The Community Hubs are regional networks, each offering a range of support and educational opportunities. Our goal is to build local connections, ensuring individuals across the province feel seen, supported, and empowered. Hubs provide a combination of online and in-person engagement opportunities, fostering both practical support and social connection.

Our dedicated volunteer moderators make this initiative possible.
