Epilepsy Book Club

Epilepsy Book Club

Epilepsy Book Club 

September 5, 2025

As part of our Wellness Program, NEREG and MAESC hosts an on-line epilepsy and seizure-themed Book Club every 4 months!  Everyone in the group reads the book on their own, then “meets” online to talk about it: impressions, opinions, critiques.  Books are selected based on their relevance to epilepsy, such as books that have a fictional or non-fictional character with epilepsy or that is written by a person living with epilepsy.  The group will vote on the upcoming books to read.

The selected book will be announced soon.
