💜 Let’s Connect!

Living with epilepsy can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our virtual support groups are a space to connect with others who understand, share experiences, ask questions, and simply spend time together.

Whether you’re a parent or caregiver looking for support, or a teen or young adult wanting to meet others who get it, there’s a group for you!

💻 First Tuesday of every month
👨‍👩‍👧 Parent & Caregiver Connect | 9 AM
💜 Teen & Young Adult Connect | 6 PM

New faces are always welcome! 💜

💜 A Seizure Action Plan is more than a piece of paper. It’s peace of mind, preparation, and a plan when it matters most.

Before the school year begins, take time to review and update your student’s Seizure Action Plan (SAP). Making sure teachers, school nurses, and staff understand what to do during a seizure can help everyone feel more prepared and confident from day one. 🎒📚

A little preparation can make a BIG difference. 💜

Back to school ready! 📚✏️💜

We had so much fun at our Back to School Game Night bringing our epilepsy families together for an evening of learning, games and getting prepared for a safe and successful school year!

Families learned about seizure safety, how to prepare for the school year, and why having an updated Seizure Action Plan (SAP) is so important. We also made sure our students headed home with school supplies to help them start the year feeling prepared! 🎒✨

Thank you to all of our families who joined us and helped make the night so special. Here’s to a safe, confident and seizure-smart school year! 💜

Did you know? Across the United States, 470,000 children and teens have been diagnosed with epilepsy, yet only 45% of pediatric patients have a seizure action plan.

A seizure action plan (SAP) provides important information for others on what they should do to manage a seizure.

Earlier this month, we had an incredible time at the Ricky Pearsall Youth Football Camp! 🏈💜 (in Bakersfield and Fresno!)

It was such a special opportunity to connect with local families, share epilepsy education and resources, and cheer on young athletes as they learned new skills and built confidence.

Including children with epilepsy in activities like these helps other kids learn about epilepsy, encourages understanding, and helps break down the stigma surrounding the diagnosis. Every child’s epilepsy is different, so families should always talk with their neurologist about which sports and activities their child can safely participate in.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, asked questions, and helped make the day so memorable! 💜

💦💜 Almost 200 patients and families joined us for our recent Water Safety Day—a powerful day of connection, education, and prevention.
Hosted in partnership with our Injury Prevention team, this event focused on helping families—especially those impacted by complex medical conditions—stay safer around water through hands-on learning and life-saving resources.
With nearly 20 water-related incidents treated at Valley Children’s already this year, these conversations matter more than ever.

✨ We’re incredibly grateful to every family, team member, and partner who helped make this day so meaningful. Together, we’re building safer, stronger communities for our kids.
