Hope The Lion
What is Hope?
Hope reminds everyone that where there is a person living with epilepsy, there is Hope. Lions represent courage, strength, and pride. Through Hope’s positive message of resilience, we are flipping the script on epilepsy.
Hope isn’t just for kids! Epilepsy Foundation New England has designed Hope to relate to people of all ages and genders.

#WhereisHope?
When you get Hope, share it with others by snapping a photo of you and Hope doing your favorite things or visiting your favorite places. Children and families can bring Hope wherever they go and tell others to use the hashtag #WhereIsHope. It’s time to show people what epilepsy really looks like, and separate fact vs. fiction.
Hope can be found wherever our programs and services are, and we will find Hope wherever there is a child with epilepsy. Poorly understood epilepsy is in the dark ages of awareness. Hope will change that.
Find Hope
You can find Hope on Facebook and Instagram. When you’re friends with Hope on Facebook, you will get daily challenges and activities. On Mindful Mondays, Hope might ask you to strike a yoga pose and post it to social media with #whereishope. Or send your picture to Hope at hopeefne@epilepsynewengland.org.
Join us in our mission to bring awareness and spread Hope today!

Coloring Hope
Children with chronic conditions often feel scared and alone, especially during medical testing. The Hope Coloring and Activity book shares messages of resilience, strength-building, and hope. Focused not on disorder, symptoms, or medical management, the Coloring and Activity Book supports children’s socio-emotional health and provides fun activities to pass the time during long medical appointments or hospital stays.
