With families across the country living in lockdown, it is even harder for young people living with epilepsy to access the support they need. Children and teenagers can feel cut-off from the world without anyone to speak to.
The fear and uncertainty that a diagnosis brings can have devastating effects of a young persons mental health. In fact, nearly half of young people with epilepsy also suffer from a mental health condition.
Young Epilepsy has created The Hub @ The Channel, an online community for young people to get answers to the questions they need to ask.
Projects like this one are supported by money raised on Purple Day. By getting involved, you can make a huge practical difference to a young person's everyday life.
