Free Virtual Education in Schools
The EAWCP provides free seizure training for staff and education programs for students. We have several pre-scheduled virtual programs that are taking place in March, including a workshop for school nurses, training for staff, and education programs for students of all ages.
You can learn more and encourage your child's teacher and school nurse to register for programs online at www.eawcp.org/learn. Teachers can schedule a free program to educate students by contacting Andrea at azonneveld@eawcp.org. Use the button below to download a flyer you can share with your child's school.

Would your child like to get screen-to-snout with an Alaskan animal?
Schools that participate in our March education programs for students and share photos of how they are raising epilepsy awareness in their school will be entered into a raffle to win a virtual field trip to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center!
Contact Andrea at azonneveld@eawcp.org for more information.
