Our Mission

Epilepsy Services of New Jersey, an affiliate of The Family Resource Network, is a state-wide, non-profit charitable agency dedicated to helping to improve the quality of life for people affected by epilepsy and their loved ones.

We provide comprehensive support, personalized services and advocacy for individuals and their families in order to maximize their participation in society.

The following principles govern all program activities of ESNJ:

  • The person shall participate to the fullest extent possible in their own care. The family and community are vital resources for the individual.
  • Volunteer leadership and participation of affected people is essential to the success of the organization.0
  • Duplication of effort shall be avoided as resources and services are developed for the persons we serve.
  • Services and activities shall address the full spectrum of our clients special needs.
  • Program activities shall meet defined program standards set by the National Epilepsy Services and others relevant accrediting bodies.

ESNJ is a proud member of the Epilepsy Alliance America, a nation-wide network of community-based epilepsy organizations that are dedicated to confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures through the promotion of independence and quality of life for people with epilepsy and their families. The Alliance was founded in 2018 by eight leading grassroots epilepsy organizations who have unified in their mission to provide direct support to people with epilepsy, and the people who care for them.
