Dear Friends,

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video increases the value tenfold, right? That's the thinking behind our video library. We want to ensure you have access to content that helps everyone — from parents to professionals — navigate Dravet syndrome.

Use the left sidebar to explore specific playlists. You'll find content from past Day of Dravet presentations, webinars for the newly diagnosed, and videos to help with the transition to adult care. We know that Dravet syndrome impacts the whole family, so we ensure that our content helps the whole family.

Take a look and let us know your ideas for future content. We are your partners in this journey. No one walks this path alone, and we've organized our videos to help you along the way.

Thank you,

Dravet Syndrome Foundation

 

Host an Event!

We are so grateful for the support we receive from our community each time you host an event. Those walks, casino nights, and bicycling challenges increase the public's awareness of Dravet syndrome and related epilepsies and enable DSF to keep our resources free and support flowing to all families impacted by the condition. Moreover, $6.4M in research funding has come from these events. Every event, large or small, brings us closer to a cure.

It is easy to host an event and make a difference. We will guide you through the process every step of the way. Explore our events landing page to get started.

 

New Clinical Trial

Takeda is sponsoring the Skyline Study, a Phase 3 clinical research study of an investigational medication for children, teens, and young adults diagnosed with Dravet syndrome who are currently using anti-seizure drugs to manage symptoms but still experiencing seizures. Learn more about the trial and see if someone you know qualifies here.

Submit Media

Each time DSF shares your story, we spread awareness to the general public by putting a face to the disease. It's why you see photos and videos on our promotional materials. If you are interested in sharing your child’s photo(s), video(s), and/or story with us, please reach out so we can help the world understand Dravet syndrome, one story at a time.
