Summary

This pilot trial tests a 15-week telehealth program called Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) for teens aged 14–18 with epilepsy who struggle with daily living skills. The program includes weekly caregiver-teen sessions and separate caregiver group meetings, all delivered online. Researchers want to see if the program is acceptable and helpful for improving skills like cooking, laundry, and money management.
