The Details
Who is this experience for?
Support Hours are for parents, caregivers, friends or family caring for a child with epilepsy! If you are a single parent, please consider attending! Epilepsy requires more than 1 person and the material I will review, is excellent for all relationships! Relax, Restore & Reset Experiences will provide our community connection with others and immediate support through Ashley's favorite tips to help us take care of ourselves as we also care for our people.
How will we spend the hour?
The format of the Support Hour begins with a brief introduction and meditation. Ashley prepares material that gives us practical guidance and structure to support the load and stress placed on anyone who loves and cares for someone with epilepsy. The last 10 minutes of each Support Hour is spent answering questions or topics that came up during the presentation.
Is this group therapy?
No. This experience is designed to provide respite, education, connection and support. While the experience may feel therapeutic at times, I will be leading the group from the position of teacher and coach.
Will the experience be recorded?
No. We (Ashley and UCSF PECE) care to keep this experience safe and confidential for all participants. I invite participants to bring an open mind and judgment free perspective.

Do I need to RSVP and if so, how?
Please RSVP to Ashley at ashleywoodlcsw@gmail.com.. She takes time to create these presentations and it helps to know the number of attendees planning on participating. She understands that epilepsy is a moving target and causes a lot of fatigue in us caregivers. These Support Hours are designed to give you some respite and support. If you’re like Ashley, she might “forget” about the hour or “wait” until the next one. When Ashley “postpones” her self care it leads her into extra anxiety and depression. Our self care is important! Your self care is important! She hopes to see you this month!
Contact Information?
