Support for Families Overseas
Dravet Syndrome UK is a UK-based charity and as such we are only able to support families based in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
If you are a family residing outside of the UK and you are looking for information on how to get a diagnosis, availability of treatments and other support local to your country, then unfortunately we are unable to advise and can only signpost you to a local organisation.
Below is a helpful list of other Dravet Syndrome associations or Epilepsy associations to contact for more information and advice.
