The FINS committee looks at intervention with juveniles who are having their first contact with the justice system. This program targets nursing home staff and other professionals working with the elderly population to update their knowledge about epilepsy. This includes all training directed to health professionals or other service delivery professionals who work with people with seizures. This program includes health fairs, non-professional workshops, school alert programs, and any contact with the general purlic concerning epilepsy issues. Liaison committees, any committee outside of Board Committee in which the Epilepsy Foundation has representation on, that are not covered by other programs fall into this category.
