Valley Children’s Epilepsy Support Program

We provide a support system and community for epilepsy patients and families throughout the Central Valley.

01/08/2026

Valley Children’s Epilepsy Support Program is a proud member of Epilepsy Alliance America. 1 in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. On January 26, we celebrate our epilepsy warriors and honor the strength, resilience, and full humanity of everyone living with epilepsy—today and everyday.

Whether you are a person with epilepsy, you love someone with epilepsy, you support someone with epilepsy, we’re here for you with tools and resources.

To recognize 1 in 26, we encourage anyone to share their story. We are asking for you to submit a photo along with a written story describing your journey and life with epilepsy.

DM or email us at epilepsysupport@valleychildrens.org to have your story highlighted on 1 in 26 day!

✨ We’re back! ✨

We’re so excited to welcome families back to our Epilepsy Support Program 💜

This space is all about connection, education, and support—because no family should navigate epilepsy alone.
We can’t wait to continue building community, sharing resources, and supporting you every step of the way. 💫
Stay tuned for upcoming groups, events, and ways to get involved!

BIG NEWS!!! - FOR 2 days only!!!

This secret window of time (2 days… I guess, it’s not really a secret), has the opportunity to make a big impact on the success and ranking of book. A sincere thank you for being part of the Room for Friends launch team! We’re grateful to have you with us.

Here’s what to do today or tomorrow:

1. DOWNLOAD THE EBOOK (FOR FREE!) HERE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1953771114

2. SCAN TO THE END OF THE EBOOK.

Your review will only count if you’ve read the book, so here’s my author hack… take 5 seconds to scan to the end in the ebook.

3. LEAVE A REVIEW

Add an honest review. Whether it’s a short, generic statement (“Awesome book”, “My daughter loved this!”) or ChatGPT generated, your contribution is important and meaningful to this mission. Thank you!

How your download/ review is important during this short 2-day window:

Amazon reviews (even just a few sentences) will help more parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals discover the book. It’s the best way for us to earn a fancy Amazon banner, like “ #1 New Release” or even “Best Seller” for books on Epilepsy. It shows us how much you love and support us.

With gratitude,
Author Susie Harder and Caitlin Epilepsy Alliance America Authorable

Check out: https://www.valleychildrens.org/epilepsy-support-program/seizure-action-plan to get started on a seizure action plan for you or someone you love. When your SAP is completed don't hesistate to share your plan with others who could help you in case you have a seizure. Let's be proactive with our safety.

1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy. Approximately 70 percent of individuals do NOT have a Seizure Action Plan (SAP). Meet Kimberly who has her SAP on display for others in her home to help intervene as needed. It is never too late to create your SAP. Help Others Help You!

All school personnel who interact with students with seizures should be prepared to respond effectively. Teachers, aides, coaches, bus drivers, and staff should review each student’s Seizure Action Plan annually to stay familiar with the necessary steps. This preparation fosters asafer, more supportive environment for students with epilepsy. Responding to a seizure isn’t just the school nurse’s role—anyone can make a difference. Visit SeizureActionPlans.org to learn more.
