Seizing Hope: High Tech Journeys in Pediatric Epilepsy
The Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) is hosting a film screening featuring the 30-minute short documentary 'Seizing Hope: High Tech Journeys in Pediatric Epilepsy.' The event will include the screening, a discussion, and a reception with drinks and snacks. Doors open at 7:00pm and the film screening starts at 7:15pm. IRCM is located in downtown Montreal.
This mini-documentary is a story about hope for children and their families in mitigating and treating pediatric drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). It is a story about how families learn to trust their medical team, educate them, and help them consider neurotechnology options for their child. It is a story about empowerment as loved ones shed light on the ethical factors that led to their decisions. In doing so, they empower other families that face similar challenges to theirs. It is a story of how children and families affected by DRE can seize hope in times of darkness for a better quality of life. The film may be viewed in English with subtitles in French or Spanish.
The event is free and open to the public. Please note that a registration for the INS Annual Meeting does not guarantee entry. Registration is required as there is a limit of 120 attendees. Security will only allow registered participants to attend. A virtual viewing option will not be available.
