Are you between 18 to 35, living in Europe and affected by a neurological disorder? Then you can participate in EFNA’s workshop! Register before September 21st.
The European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA) is an umbrella group representing 20 pan-European neurology patient groups – including the European Huntington Association.
There’s a consensus among EFNA’s members that young people are currently under-represented in their associations.

EFNA’s recent survey further showed that young people live with a fear of isolation and stigma, and that their fellow peers shows a general lack of understanding when it comes to rare diseases.

In other words: there’s a need for increased awareness. And with your help, this can be achieved.
