The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota proudly serves individuals and families across Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. Our team is based in communities throughout the region, providing both in-person support and virtual services to ensure everyone has access to the care and connection they deserve, no matter where they live.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to learn more, we’re here to help — by phone, video chat, email, or in person.
We offer free seizure first aid training for schools, workplaces, healthcare providers, community groups, and more — helping people recognize seizures and respond with confidence.
Have questions about epilepsy or need help finding local resources? Our epilepsy-specialized staff are ready to support you. Reach out to your local contact or get in touch with our Information Services team at 800.779.0777 or info@efmn.org.
We host Connect Groups, social events, and the United In Epilepsy Walks, among other inclusive events that bring together people impacted by epilepsy — across all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. It’s a chance to share stories, build community, and feel less alone on the journey.
From the Twin Cities to rural communities across Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota, our mission is to meet you where you are — with compassion, knowledge, and support. Our statewide Community Health Worker team helps us do just that, providing free, personalized support in multiple languages and helping individuals navigate life with epilepsy.
