Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month
June is Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month!
This June – Help Us Raise Awareness of Dravet Syndrome!
Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month takes place each June in the U.S., and International Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day is observed on June 23rd. This year, we are recognizing those that we have lost on our fourth annual Remembrance Day, June 15, 2024.
By raising awareness of Dravet syndrome, our community can increase knowledge in the general public; improve early diagnosis; assure that patient families have the information they need to manage their loved one’s care; and reduce the feelings of isolation faced by patients and their families. This year’s theme is DSF’s tagline: Community. Research. Progress.

- Through May 12th, order your 2024 Dravet Syndrome Awareness month gear!
- June 1-30: Dye it for Dravet fundraising challenge kicks off
