Now Enrolling: Pediatric Epilepsy Research Study

Epilepsy Services of New Jersey is inviting families with children ages 4–12 to participate in a pediatric research study evaluating an investigational seizure-monitoring tool.

The study involves a single in-person visit and includes seizure education, guidance on using the Eysz HV Home Recorder, and compensation for time and travel.

Purple Day is March 26th!

At Epilepsy Services of New Jersey, purple is not just a color. It is a symbol of unity, strength, and the community we stand beside every day.

More than 3.4 million Americans are living with epilepsy. One in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. Behind every number is a person with goals, talents, and a future full of possibilities. Purple Day is our opportunity to show them they are seen, supported, and never alone.

This year, our team is wearing purple to celebrate resilience and progress. We are proud of the education, advocacy, and services that reach families across New Jersey. We are proud of the growing community of individuals who are learning how to recognize and respond to seizures with confidence. And we are proud of every person who chooses to stand up and be part of something bigger.

Now we invite you to take action with us. Wear purple. Share a message of support. Complete our seizure recognition and response training. Start a conversation that builds understanding. Make a gift that helps expand programs and reach even more families.

Purple Day is about momentum. It is about community. And it is about each of us choosing to show up in a way that makes a difference.

For Graduating New Jersey High School Seniors!

The Family Resource Network is proud to offer three $1,000 scholarships to New Jersey high school seniors who are planning to continue their education beyond high school.

These scholarships are designed to support students whose journeys may look different — and whose determination, resilience, and commitment to their future deserve recognition.

Scholarships are available for students who are living with epilepsy, autism, or a visual impairment.

Students do not need to be at the top of their class to apply. We consider academic effort, participation in school or community activities, and the individual experiences that have shaped each student’s path.

Whether a student is pursuing college, vocational training, or another post-secondary program, these scholarships are intended to help take the next step with confidence.
