Family Conferences on Holoprosencephaly
The Family Conference on Holoprosencephaly is the only conference in existence focusing on the topic of Holoprosencephaly (HPE), and this conference continues to be a model among rare disorders in that it brings 100+ affected families together with leading research scientists and clinicians. Attendees representing multiple countries come together to focus on daily living skills, medical needs and scientific research progress. These conferences are held biennially.
Parent to Parent Support
Families for HoPE seeks to connect families to other HPE families to encourage the sharing of stories and experiences as parents, build bonds that strengthen families, and decrease the feelings of isolation.
