Purple Day: Supporting colleagues with Epilepsy
March 26, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Webinar overview
Purple Day is held annually worldwide on March 26, and it is all about raising awareness for Epilepsy. “65 Million people are estimated to have epilepsy globally” and “50% of cases have an unknown cause”. An inclusive workplace should strive to gain more awareness around Epilepsy, particularly as neurodivergence is rising in these spaces.
