May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and we’re using this month to spotlight an often-missed conversation: epilepsy in AAPI communities.
Epilepsy affects people across every background, but stigma, language barriers, and limited culturally informed care can make it harder for AAPI individuals and families to get support.
At the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawai‘i, we’re committed to education, resources, and community that honors the diversity of our islands.
💜 If you or someone you love is living with epilepsy: you’re not alone.
