UK in person event.

Please join the Encephalitis International staff team and community at our Family Resilience Day

Date:  Saturday 13 September 2025

Aston University Students Union, Birmingham, UK

This event is aimed at families whose child/young adult has been affected by encephalitis.  We will be launching our new reviewed educational resources for primary and secondary school children and aim to develop with the help of young people present at the event, which will include a presentation package for schools and pupils on what it means to return to school after encephalitis.

We will be joined by a team of health professionals from Aston University who are starting a multiyear study looking into the consequences of encephalitis in children and young people.

Workshops for children/parents will be available with opportunities to network and share experiences with others.

Refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided.

The event will finish with a visit to one of Birmingham’s attractions:  Lego Discovery Centre or the Science Museum
