One of the best and easiest ways to combat stress is relaxation. It helps to reduce accumulated tension, it improves mental and physical health, makes us feel better, helps to confront problems more efficiently, aids sleep and helps disconnect from daily tension.

The  principle techniques of relaxation are used in the workshops (breathing, muscle relaxation, imagination, laughter therapy..) in order to learn how to control body states. 

The objective is to learn and practice different methods and techniques of simple relaxation so that assistants can easily use the techniques in their own homes when needed.

A diagnosis of severe epilepsy changes our social, family and work life as well as our hobbies and free time causing physical and psychological exhaustion, which can seriously harm health.

The stress workshops principal aim is to provide the tools to use for concrete solutions to deal with tension, anxiety, irrational fear etc. We will try and help to find the source of your stress and teach you relaxation techniques, how to control stress in the workplace and at home, to have a better and deeper sleep, increase vitality, maximise concentration, to relax when you want and control your thoughts instead of being controlled by them.

Epilepsy is a profound topic for debate in education. Above all, how to educate these children, is it better to educate in an ordinary or a special needs classroom ? The parent's role in the process should be consistent with the reality of educating the child. Parents of children with epilepsy witness discrimination because the professionals have little to no information on how to educate the student. Parents feel frustrated and impotent because there are no specialist staff to attend to their children.

Because of this the parents of children with epilepsy need to seek alternative education, and the parents themselves need specialist help.

Psychologists concur that a common feeling for the parents is guilt.

The school for fathers/mothers is somewhere where doubts, concerns and frustrations can be resolved, where up to date information can be provided and where each family and educational framework can be treated individually.

In the school you will find specialist professional support and you will know other parents with similar or the same prolems with differing experiences. Cases and experiences can be exchanged and will contribute to a more integrated solution to the problem.

One of the most important parts of our lives are our daily social relationships. In each, we have to relate to others which contributes greatly to our happiness and well-being, but these relationships can also be a great cause of stress, discomfort and negative emotional feelings like frustration and anger which make us feel rejected.

In the workshops we try to work on empathy, understanding of others, accepting of feelings, attitudes and values, confront conflicting situations in daily life, learn how to express and receive positive and negative feelings all of which improves our quality of life.

Sometimes self-esteem is negative making us unable to reach goals and aspirations and adopting submissive attitudes. This lack of confidence makes us unable to fulfill our commitments and responsibilities because we have no belief in our personal capabilities.

In these workshops we try to pass on basic ideas to enable positive self-esteem, for example, accept ourselves as we are, try to change negative models for positive ones, control destructive criticism, avoid comparing ourselves with others, etc.

The objective is to show that positive self-esteem benefits our health and quality of life, it increases our ability to confront and overcome personal problems and improves personal relationships.

Epilepsy has a sudden and abrupt impact on family life and provokes different feelings and emotions : guilt, rejection, anger, fear, etc. The family lives with the uncertainty about when another seizure will happen which changes family, social and work life.

Emotional and psychological support is necessary for the person with epilepsy and their family providing them with the tools to resolve conflict and reduce anxiety.

The objective is to provide the patient and their family with a series of techniques and skills to make the right decisions and increase their ability to react and decide how to solve their problems.
