Epilepsy in men
Epilepsy in men is a research project focusing on the reality of men living with epilepsy and their loved ones. The project was carried out in collaboration with the Pôle d'expertise et de recherche en santé et bien-être des hommes and the Département des sciences humaines et sociales of the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi. As an organization, we wanted to adapt our services by adjusting good practices and creating new resources to better reach and help men with epilepsy.
