Brain Donation: What to consider, how it works and how it can help

In this important discussion with rare epilepsy moms who made the decision to donate their children’s brain tissue upon passing, we discuss a number of critical elements about this deeply personal and difficult decision including:

1. How and why they made the decision to donate
2. How to manage family members who don’t understand or agree
3. The logistics of donation
4. How donation impacts the funeral/celebration of life
And more

Our guests are Shelley Oldham, Angie Weaver and Penny Howard.

This webinar is hosted in partnership with FamilieSCN2A Foundation and Hope4Harper.
