What We Do
Samman Association carries out an array of activities to
promote epilepsy awareness and propel social change.
Rural Epilepsy Clinics
Every quarter, a team of Samman Association members comprising Neurologists, General Physican, Physiotherapist, Psychologist and volunteers conduct medical rural camps at Pen in Raigad district and at Talasari in Palghar, Maharashtra where anti epileptic medicines are given free or at a nominal rate.
We started holding these clinics in Pen in November 2007. The positive outcome of these clinics at Pen has encouraged us to start a similar model in Palghar.
Support Group Meetings
Every second Saturday of the month, we conduct Support Group meetings at hospitals, in house or online on Zoom. The meetings become a space for patients and caregivers to interact, share and grow.
Along with the medical aspects of epilepsy, we discuss psychoeducation, epilepsy and work, stress, memory and other cognitive and practical aspects related to epilepsy and living.
Counseling
Our inhouse psychologists and counselors offer individual, family and group counseling sessions – by appointment.
Counseling sessions at Samman range from planning and scheduling everyday activities to more intense sessions on stress management, behavioral components and much more.
Awareness Programs
Samman prides itself in its regular effort of conducting epilepsy awareness programs in schools, colleges, hospitals and public platforms to increase acceptance and proper management of children with epilepsy.
Training programs
We hold training programs for Physicians and Paramedics to promote rightful management of epilepsy and seizures. As a result, we build a team of trained professionals to combat epilepsy ignorance.
Empowerment programs
Our members are some of the most talents individuals you would meet. The taboo around epilepsy, sadly, gets in the way of them being employed and independent. As an organization working primarily towards empowering people with epilepsy and their caregivers, we conduct workshops and outings that promote learning, skills development and self-efficiency.
We also encourage and organize for our members to showcase their talents at exhibitions that improves their earning capacity.
Yoga and Wellness
Samman Committee Member and Yoga Instructor Jyoti Katkar conducts online yoga sessions for our members regularly. Our members are runners, cyclists, athletes and ever-enthusiastic folk. Fitness, yoga and wellness activities have helped them strike a balance between their physical and mental health.
Public programs
We partake in public programs to educate and raise epilepsy awareness – through lectures, printed material and songs and skits.
