Join the Global Movement: June 23rd is International Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day. On this day, DSF is joining our advocacy partners and families from around the world in raising awareness through a variety of initiatives.
- Spread the word about Dravet syndrome and Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day by sharing information, including your family’s story. Incorporate hashtags like #CureDravet and #DravetAwarenessDay to amplify your message.
- Educate others about Dravet syndrome by sharing information with your friends, family, and colleagues.
- Sport your DSF swag to spark discussions and raise awareness of Dravet syndrome.
- Seek a proclamation to draw your community’s focus and formally acknowledge Dravet syndrome. Proclamations can be requested at all levels of government. Some government websites provide proclamation request forms for direct submission. In cases where such forms are not available, you can search for email addresses on the government website to contact officials. You can find an example request here.
