FENS gives its support to the ‘Under the Umbrella’ campaign, which is an initiative by EFNA – the European Federation of Neurological Associations.
The campaign aimas to an increase in public, political and scientific support for all brain and brain-related disorders, resulting in reduced stigma. The campaign asks the patient community, general public, and high profile figures to take and share a picture of themselves under an umbrella using the hashtag #UnderTheUmbrella.
The objectives are:
-
To educate society on the wide range of neurological and other brain/brain-related disorders
-
To raise awareness of the impact and prevalence of these disorders
-
To brand the brain by grouping these disorders under a common symbol to create a unified and identifiable ‘brand’
Join the campaign and support EFNA!
