Project UPLIFT

The Project UPLIFT program is an evidence-based, 8-week program using mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy. The program is open to adults (18+) with epilepsy (or their support persons) experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression.

Each group is made up of 5-8 participants who commit to weekly group sessions where they will learn many valuable skills that have been shown to improve depression, psychological well-being, and quality of life in people living with epilepsy. All information shared during the group is confidential and attendance at each session is required.

Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario is planning to run a session for caregivers starting at the end of January. The group will be run virtually by phone. If you are interested in participating, please note the following meeting times and contact Epilepsy Educator, Sandra Pidduck at [email protected] if you would like more information!
