There are many ways to make a difference — every contribution matters.

Community

Become a Member

Membership connects you to a community that understands.

EASL membership is open to patients, caregivers, family members, healthcare professionals, and anyone who wants to support the epilepsy community in Sri Lanka. There are no barriers to joining.

As a member, you gain access to monthly support group meetings, educational workshops with neurologists and healthcare professionals, EASL's resources library, and a community of people who truly understand the journey of living with or caring for someone with epilepsy.

Members also play a vital role in EASL's advocacy work — your voice helps shape the policies and public conversations that affect the epilepsy community.
