Back to the listingWebinar Wednesday: Seizure Recognition and Response for Public Health Professionals
Provider: National Board of Public Health Credentialing
Description: Seizures can happen anywhere—at home, at work, in schools, and in public spaces—and yet epilepsy remains widely misunderstood. This interactive webinar, presented by Epilepsy Services of New Jersey, is designed to equip public health professionals with the knowledge and confidence needed to recognize seizures, respond safely and effectively, and promote health literacy around epilepsy in their communities.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of common seizure types, learn how to identify when someone may be experiencing a seizure, and practice evidence‑based seizure first aid that prioritizes safety, dignity, and appropriate response. The session will also explore epilepsy through a public health lens, emphasizing the critical role professionals play in reducing stigma, improving preparedness, and increasing access to accurate information and resources.
Whether you work in health education, community outreach, policy, or program implementation, this webinar will provide practical tools and trusted resources you can immediately apply in your work to better support individuals living with epilepsy and those around them.
Key takeaways include:
How to recognize different types of seizures
What to do—and what not to do—when someone is having a seizure
How public health professionals can build epilepsy health literacy and preparedness
Resources and referrals for individuals with epilepsy, families, and communities
This webinar is ideal for public health practitioners seeking to strengthen community readiness, enhance inclusive health education, and improve outcomes for people living with epilepsy.
