The campaign is a collaboration of individuals and organizations working together to:

  • Increase awareness and understanding of SUDEP
  • Ensure accurate information is publicly available
  • Encourage discussion of mortality in epilepsy
  • Champion the need for increased resources towards research and support
  • Improve the identification of SUDEP deaths

This is being achieved through:

All campaign-related questions and correspondence can be directed to the campaign's administration team, headed by Tamzin Jeffs in Canada and Emma MacDonald in the US.
