Ayudar a Danny Did a llegar a los médicos

In effort to share our mission, programs and resources with neurologists we ask for your help. The Danny Did Foundation will mail a package to you that includes Seizure Safety/SUDEP information brochures, Danny Did Foundation pamphlets, and a letter introducing the Danny Did Foundation. We ask that you provide this package, which includes our contact information, to your doctor’s office. If you are interested in helping with this outreach, please click here.

Profesionales médicos: Ayúdenos a hablar de la SUDEP

Studies show that patients and their families want to hear about sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). We can provide resources for this conversation. Let’s discuss placement of Danny Did Foundation printed materials in your hospital, emergency room, or doctor’s office. We can mail free materials that cover SUDEP in a responsible way, within the context of all the risks that accompany epilepsy. Having the SUDEP conversation builds doctor-patient trust and an open dialogue, which fosters better care. Please click here to request materials. Also, please visit our Healthcare Provider Resources page for more information.

Media Outreach

Public awareness for epilepsy is critical. Make media outreach to your local outlets to offer yourself to be interviewed about your journey; go on a podcast; or write and submit an Op-Ed on an epilepsy topic that is important to you.

Educate Your Community

Make yourself available to give talks and presentations to epilepsy support groups (in person or online!), local businesses, schools, or civic organizations in your community. Talking about epilepsy helps to reduce the fear and stigma attached to it.

Take Action on Public Policy

A great place to start is contacting your elected officials about the National Plan for Epilepsy. You can also testify or complete Witness slips for relevant epilepsy bills; hold insurance payors accountable for what we need; and form relationships with elected officials so that they know you as a willing advocate.

Attend Epilepsy Meetings

Having your voice present at both patient-family meetings and scientific-professional conferences is critically important. “Nothing about us without us” is a mantra that all of us can represent by showing up in the places that matter.

Patrocinar un evento de Danny Did

Event sponsorship is a great way to align your business with supporting families facing epilepsy, health and wellness, and grass roots advocacy. A partnership will give Danny Did the opportunity to raise the funds needed to support our epilepsy and SUDEP nationwide awareness campaigns, and our grant program which provides seizure detection devices to families in need. Whether you’re a Fortune 500 company, a small business owner, professional organization, or school club, your partnership can help us achieve our goal: to protect kids with epilepsy. Our special events calendar is always growing and with something around the corner. If you would like to sponsor an event or campaign, please click here to let us know.
