Empowering Epilepsy offers a monthly art therapy session created for people living with epilepsy. Led by a licensed art therapist, the class uses hands-on artmaking to help participants express feelings visually while supporting both physical and emotional well-being. Creative activities can aid with pain management, ease anxiety, and strengthen self-esteem. This free, in-person program is held at Empowering Epilepsy Headquarters. Registration is required in advance to ensure there are enough supplies for everyone. This program is made possible through the support of Cuyahoga County residents with a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, matched by The Harry K. and Emma R. Fox Charitable Foundation and The Samuel H. Press Estate.

Enjoy a weekly board game meetup at North Coast Games with free admission. Snacks and drinks are available, and there is ample space with about 4,000 square feet to accommodate multiple tables. Games often begin with quick plays and transition to longer sessions as more participants arrive, and play can continue late into the evening. Attendance is typically strong with several games running at once, and because the event is cross-posted across multiple platforms, online sign-ups may not reflect the actual turnout. Attendees are welcome to bring their own games, and the host maintains a list of owned games and expansions. Memberships are available for 24/7 access to the gaming area along with significant discounts on merchandise. RSVPs are requested to help with planning.
