Connection Scheme

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new Connection Scheme which will allow the members of our encephalitis community to find and connect with others with similar experiences. It may be that you would like support or can offer support to others.

Encephalitis International has members from all over the world, and although no two people have the exact same experience, sometimes there are shared difficulties and outcomes. We know the positive impact that connecting with someone else affected directly or indirectly by encephalitis can have on individuals and families.

This scheme may be able to connect our supporters, easing feelings of isolation that are felt by many following encephalitis.

The new scheme is an online service which will give you the opportunity to establish and manage the connections by yourself in your own time

Please note that this new site will require some basic IT skills in order to sign up. The process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes (including time for our video or PDF set up guide). If you will need any help with setting up, please reach to us as we can help you with this process.

If you are interested in joining, please complete the form below and we will send a link to the new site for you to join the Scheme.

If you prefer not to join the scheme at this time but you still want to connect with other people please email us (peer support@encephalitis.info) and we will explore other options.

Please note that you need to be over 18 in order to access this service.
