Supporting the Mental Health Needs of Youth with Epilepsy
Youth with epilepsy (YWE) report significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression than youth without epilepsy. NASN’s new Mental Health Toolkit for School Nurses Caring for Students with Epilepsy provides practical resources to inform school nursing practice in caring for mental health conditions in YWE in the school setting. Built on the nursing process, it offers actionable guidance for assessment, care planning, and family engagement.
