Getting and keeping a job can be especially difficult for the person with epilepsy, but our Employment Services staff can help.

Employment-related counselling is available to people with epilepsy, as well as consultancy services to employers. Our focus is on job acquisition, retention and workplace adjustment. Through vocational and supportive counselling, we address employment standards, labour legislation, income support, insurance and driving issues.
