The Peer Educator Program provides an opportunity for students from Years 5-12 to be involved in a meaningful partnership with your local Epilepsy Australia member organisation to raise awareness and understanding of epilepsy in your school community. The program has been developed by the Epilepsy Foundation – we hope that you find the resources and information helpful in raising awareness of epilepsy within your school community.
