PACES in Epilepsy
PACES is an 9-week small group for newly diagnosed individuals or those who are still adjusting to an epilepsy diagnosis. In this program, you will learn skills and strategies for social and community adjustment. The goal of PACES is to increase the medical, psychosocial, and community adjustment of adults with active seizure conditions.
