ART
THERAPY
WHAT IS IT?
Studio E participants create art using a variety of mediums, such as painting, sketching, collaging and sculpting. The sessions are led by a professional art therapist using an open studio model, which promotes freedome of expression and open sharing. Previous art making or "perceived" talent is not necessary. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to explore individual creativity. The program is available FREE to people with epilepsy courtesy of Lundbeck.
WHY ART?
Across the country, people living with epilepsy are turning to art therapy as a way to increase self-awareness, develop coping mechanisms and enjoy the life-affirming pleasure of making art. Participant feedback to the program has been overwhelmingly positive, with 96 percent of participants agreeing they found the program valuable. More than 80 percent provided positive feedback on the various elements of the program, most notably praise for program facilitators, willingness to engage, increased self-expression and increased confidence level.

SUPPORT
GROUPS
Can you benefit from joining a support group?
Do you feel that you are battling Epilepsy alone? Do you feel like not many people understand what it is like to have or have a loved one with Epilepsy? There are many others who feel the same way. Joining a support group can help you cope with Epilepsy and speak with others who deal with the same issues. Currently, The Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio has different online support groups to help others cope with their feelings. We also offer a Men's Group on the first Thursday of every other month. For more information, please contact our office. (937) 233-2500.
