Dear Friends, Have you heard the news? We have a brand new website! Go take a peek — we can wait while you poke around. We're so excited to finally unveil it to you, not just because of the refreshed colors and logo, but because of what it means for our community: Better access to the resources you need. Our website update comes with new accessibility features, such as font size increase (which you can access by clicking the purple person icon in the top right corner) and the ability to toggle to your preferred language at the top of our website using the "Select Language" pulldown menu. We've also made our content easier to navigate so you can find the resources you need. Plus, we've added more ways to search for doctors and comprehensive care centers or find clinical trials. Each family is on a unique journey, and we hope our updates help us better meet every individual exactly where they are on that path. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or are well-acquainted with Dravet syndrome, we've made sure that we're here for you every step of the way. If you have questions, comments, or just want to tell us what you think about the site, we'd love to hear your feedback. Just reply to this email! Warmly, Dravet Syndrome Foundation | |
Learn How To Share Your Dravet Story | |
As our community knows, rare diseases don’t receive as much attention from researchers or funders as diseases that impact larger populations. But by telling compelling stories and sharing your experiences, we can shine a light on the needs of our community. This helps researchers and clinicians better understand Dravet syndrome, supports families who are still in search of a diagnosis, and it expands awareness of Dravet syndrome to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as they work to develop new treatments. That's why we want to help you share your story! We partnered with Julia Campbell to create two storytelling webinars: Effective Storytelling Techniques That Raise Awareness, Engage Donors, and Build Community and How To Share Your Stories on Social Media. | |
