The purpose of this presentation is to empower patients, their caregivers and healthcare providers on how to respond to and identify seizures. Patients and their caregivers are better equipped to identify what is happening and to respond calmly and safely when they understand seizure first aid in plain language. Increasing health literacy about seizures enables friends, caregivers, and onlookers to take appropriate action and avoid harmful myths. A zine titled "Stay Calm: Seizure First Aid Made Simple" was created to enhance health literacy and seizure education.
