Food Insecurity and Epilepsy Health Brief

March is National Nutrition Month, and this observance reminds us how important a balanced diet is to maintain your health. Unfortunately, many people living with epilepsy struggle with being able to afford nutritious and healthy foods for themselves and their families. 

The Epilepsy Foundation and Feeding America have collaborated to create an Epilepsy and Food Insecurity Health Equity Brief to raise awareness of this issue. The Brief is located here: https://www.epilepsy.com/lifestyle/diet-exercise/healthy-eating.

The hope is that the Epilepsy and Food Insecurity Brief will help our Network better serve those needing to be connected to food pantries or food banks. The Brief is also a helpful resource to engage staff at food pantries and food banks to become more aware of epilepsy and to become Seizure First Aid certified.
