SCN8A Family Support Meetings

Join Our SCN8A Alliance Caregiver Network

Welcome! We are here to support you and one another. The SCN8A Caregiver Network is all about supporting you and supporting each other. We have built a community dedicated to learning, sharing and caring for one another.

In addition with fewer than 1,000 diagnosed cases worldwide, every family that engages helps advance research and foster a stronger, more informed community. Together, we can make meaningful strides for all families affected by SCN8A.

As a Family Partner, you will:

  • Be able to join regular family education and support Zoom meetings tailored to your experiences.
  • Access our private SCN8A Caregiver Community on Facebook to ask your questions, find and lend support to one another, and learn more about SCN8A.
  • Have opportunities to meet with the geneticist who discovered SCN8A can cause epilepsy and SCN8A father and researcher, Dr. Michael Hammer.
  • Receive updates on SCN8A research and findings.
  • Learn about opportunities to participate in research and advance SCN8A research.
  • Have an active voice in shaping the future of SCN8A research and care.

Please upload any SCN8A genetic reports or notes you have. Your information will be kept confidential in compliance with HIPPA and used only to provide support and advance research. (Preferred formats: PDF, JPG, PNG)
