EHE Support Groups
for Adults Affected by EHE

An EHE diagnosis is devastating for many people. It can leave individuals feeling hopeless and frustrated when navigating limited treatment options and exhausted from searching for supportive care beyond the clinic. The EHE Foundation aims to help people diagnosed with EHE through supportive services, community sharing, and patient empowerment. 

About EHE Support Groups

These free virtual sessions will explore various topics that help and support people newly affected by EHE, as well as those who have lived with EHE for a longer time. Professionally led by Dr. Maeve Baechler, a Psychiatry Resident at the Freiburger Network for Mental Health and an EHE survivor since 2015, these sessions are not intended to provide medical care or discuss personal treatment plans.

Who can benefit from these sessions?
These sessions are intended for adults, ages 18+, who are living with EHE or their care partners and loved ones who also understand and experience the challenges of the disease.
