The Teens Speak Up! & Public Policy Institute (TSU-PPI) is the Foundation’s signature advocacy initiative. This biennial conference brings together more than 175 advocates, including local Epilepsy Foundation office staff, families, health care providers and volunteers from across the country to make a difference. Teens living with epilepsy and a family member have the opportunity to visit the nation’s capital to receive advocacy training and meet with their lawmakers to share their experiences and discuss issues that are vital to the epilepsy community.
