June is Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Each year in the month of June the Association reaches out across Ontario to encourage all Ontarians to learn more about these serious disabling conditions and to appreciate the challenges faced by people living with them.

June is our month to highlight the importance of our cause through awareness and fundraising activities. Throughout this year we will be promoting Hydrocephalus Canada's programs and services. We hope to inform all those we can in communities across Canada. Education of professionals is also an important activity of Hydrocephalus Canada.

Physical and social barriers, medical complications, learning disabilities and financial burdens are some of the challenges that individuals with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and their families must face each and every day.

Help Canadian families meet these challenges... Raise awareness in your community.

To help you in your efforts to promote awareness in your community, please feel free to download resources from the Media Resources Page.
