Support for Patients and Caregivers
Patient organisations
Dravet syndrome patient organisations are very active across Europe and they do a huge amount of work to support people with Dravet syndrome and their families through information, education and medical research. They also play a vital role in helping families of Dravet syndrome patients make connections with other families.
There are patient organisations at country level throughout Europe and there is also a European Federation which represents all of the country level organisations.
The Dravet Syndrome European Federation (DSEF) has a list of the Dravet syndrome patient organisations in different countries on its website.
