Kayven’s Helping Hands

💜 We’d love your input!

Kayven’s Helping Hands is working on a new project — creating Epilepsy Resource Kits for kids and families 💼✨. These kits will include comfort items, helpful info, and resources for when a child is newly diagnosed, undergoing EEG testing, or spending time in the hospital.

We want to make sure these kits truly meet the needs of families — and that’s where you come in! 💬

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or patient living with epilepsy, please take just a few minutes to share your experiences and ideas in our short 10-question survey.

💜 What helped most during hospital stays or testing?
💜 What do you wish you’d known sooner?
💜 What resources or comfort items made a difference?

Your feedback will help us design meaningful, supportive kits for children across Kansas.

💜 November is Epilepsy Awareness Month!

It’s a time to shine a light on the many ways epilepsy affects lives — including one you may not think about often… dental health! 😁🪥

People living with epilepsy face some unique oral health challenges, such as:
✨ Higher rates of cavities, gum disease, and worn teeth
✨ Side effects from seizure medications like gum overgrowth or dry mouth
✨ Mouth or jaw injuries that can happen during a seizure
✨ Increased risk of decay from medication or anxiety-related dental avoidance

Because of all this, good daily dental care and regular checkups are extra important for those living with epilepsy. 🦷💪

A huge thank you to Delta Dental of Kansas for supporting our mission and helping us spread smiles across Kansas! 💚

We’re excited to offer FREE “Smile Kits” (toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and more!) to kids or adults who’d like one. Just send us a message, and we’ll happily drop one in the mail or deliver locally! 📬

Let’s keep spreading awareness — and smiles — all month long!

We invite all our friends to take a moment to review and share your feedback on this important project aimed at improving the lives of those living with epilepsy. 💜

Your Feedback is Needed By October 31st.

The National Plan for Epilepsy Committee (NPEC) has developed the Epilepsy Community Consensus Priorities — bold goals and strategies to guide policymakers and organizations in preventing, treating, and curing epilepsy; ending stigma; improving education and employment; and reducing the daily burden for people with epilepsy and their caregivers.

Now, YOUR input is needed.

We especially welcome your thoughts on whether these priorities reflect your lived experience — as a person living with epilepsy, a caregiver, provider, researcher, or advocate. Have we addressed your challenges? If not, please tell us what’s missing.

Review the draft and share your feedback by Friday, October 31, 2025.
https://www.epilepsy-national-plan.org/submit-feedback

With your help, we can ensure the National Plan for Epilepsy reflects the voices and needs of our entire community.
