EPILEPSY ASSOCIATION STAFF

The Epilepsy Association’s staff consists of six full-time and one contract employee (Christine Dessoffy, LPCC – Contract Clinical Director). Our social services staff is professionally trained in epilepsy management and is skilled in managing epilepsy and other mental health and behavioral health issues.

The agency also relies on contracts with Barnes Wendling for our accounting needs and Eleanor (Nurse Educator) and Rick (Peer Educator) for management of our Self-Management Class.
