Introducing the Narcolepsy Education Toolbox by Global Genes, Narcolepsy Network and Wake Up Narcolepsy

Through this project partnership, the Toolbox offers resources to help patients and families on their journey; and tools to inform educators, employers and the public about narcolepsy, debunk misconceptions about this rare disease, and build understanding of its symptoms and severity. Global Genes, a leading rare disease advocacy organization, facilitated this collaborative project, in pursuit of its mission, To Eliminate the Challenges of Rare Disease.
