DSF essential tremor Awareness Program


DSF ET Program is bringing the term Essential Tremor along with education, awareness, and research to the world. Our staff and supporters are dynamic and diverse. Our skills are different, our professions are varied, but our mission is the same; find new treatments, and support to everyone living with Essential Tremor.
 
We work collaboratively with a highly connected network of industry leaders who believe in our vision to unite the ET community and to share our expertise and use informed decision-making in service of others to improve the quality of Essential Tremor care.   With partnership, teamwork, and focus there is change in the way the world views ET. Together with critical thinking and innovation, we are driving results by informing the world about ET and inspiring others to join us on our mission with our social media, media outlets, and ET Talks. ​
 
DSF ET Program funds go to improve knowledge of Essential Tremor throughout the world and the medical community. Inspire young health professionals to specialize in the care of Essential Tremor. Develop a better data system for sharing Essential Tremor information around the world. Increase earlier treatment access for patients to find specialized care from movement disorder doctors.
 
Although the disorder is most common in older adults, it can affect individuals of any age including middle-aged or young adults and children. It has been reported during infancy. Our purpose is to help children learn to discuss and be open about their tremors and understand they aren’t alone.
 
DSF goal is not only offering hope and assistance for people suffering from hardships magnified by Essential Tremor, but we will not stop until the world recognizes Essential Tremor, and we find the latest treatments whether it is the cutting-edge medications or surgeries and find a cure.
