As our community knows, rare diseases don’t receive as much attention from researchers or funders like diseases that affect larger populations. Most people do not know about Dravet syndrome unless they are directly connected to it in some way.
This is why DSF works so hard to raise awareness about Dravet syndrome, and why we need your help. By telling compelling stories and sharing the patient and family experience, we can share the many struggles that our patient community faces. It helps researchers and clinicians as they try to better understand Dravet syndrome; it helps families who are still in search of a diagnosis or new to this medical journey; and it expands awareness of the unmet needs of the Dravet community to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as they work to develop new treatments.
To help our patient community feel more comfortable with sharing their story, DSF has engaged Julia Campbell to lead two webinars on storytelling for us this May. Julia is a nonprofit digital consultant, speaker, and author on a mission to make the digital world a better place.
