MISSION STATEMENT

WELCOME to PEACE The Journey 2008

Parents Educating Arkansas about Children with Epilepsy (PEACE) is a free support group for parents and a 501(c)3 non profit organization. Our mission is to coordinate education and outreach to the people of Arkansas about children who have epilepsy and other forms of seizure disorders. Our goal is to supply resources and provide the support necessary to bring peace and comfort to parents who are dealing with the daily reality of seeing their child grow up with epilepsy.

By bringing resources and support to Arkansans, we can change the reality that is epilepsy today. Through educational presentations and workshops we can assist people to look for the warning signs children sometime have and show them how to be prepared if the child does have a seizure while in school, at home, daycare, church or other outings. We can help instruct the public what epilepsy and seizure disorders really are and that it is not as scary as people once thought. Education and outreach is the key to a changed reality for our State.

When everyone works together and becomes educated about epilepsy and seizure disorders then parents, educators, doctors, and the children themselves will have a more peaceful daily life.

May we all work together to bring P E A C E to our communities!

Sincerely,

Tina L. Alexander, President and Founder
