Encephalitis can not only have an impact on the young person affected but also their family, friends, and school. Our guides and factsheets offer information on all aspects of encephalitis, from its diagnosis through to its effects and recovery and rehabiliation as well as information for teachers, family doctors and more.
There are also opportunities for young people and family members to connect with others who are recovering from encephalitis.
