Epilepsy Employment Group (EEG)

Epilepsy Employment Group (EEG) is a Job Search Support Group for people living with epilepsy. This group is meeting online via Zoom regularly every Thursday afternoon. Meetings will alternate between a featured topic and a general discussion. Join in and meet some new people, swap points of view, and learn a thing or two!

What makes EEG support groups unique is that participants determine the content and staff respond to their input. Whether discussing memory, stress, accommodations, disclosure, and any other of a number of topics, EEG offers a program in a safe space that’s informative, practical, and supportive.

You can help us make your workplace more accessible and inclusive.

The Employment Team would like to bring together decision influencers and makers for an educational and inspirational discussion of topics such as: applying for a job, when to disclose a disability, asking for accommodations, and more. We want to hear from managers, supervisors, business owners, and HR representatives! What are your concerns? How are you accommodating your staff? What resources do you think would help you in the future? Do you have any questions about employees with disabilities?
