In June 2000, the
Group with the approval from the Ministry of Health, set up
Singapore's first multi-service centre for epilepsy support.
It is the centre of operations from which a range of services
that are tailored to meet individual requirements and improve
community understanding are offered.
These
include:
- Counselling - We
provide counselling for people with epilepsy and their
families on issues such as adjustment to epilepsy, family,
school and employment problems.
- Community
Education - Many misconceptions that abound and
prejudice still surrounds epilepsy. Our community educators
provide services designed to improve community understanding
and awareness. These include providing speakers for various
professional and community groups, films, videos and an
information and reference service.
- Drop-In
Centre - The Group has a drop-in centre for people with
epilepsy and their families to meet and discuss their
problems and share their thoughts.
Where we cannot
provide the service needed, we help find the appropriate
programs to meet individual needs.
