June is Hydrocephalus & Spina Bifida Awareness Month Across Canada!

Each year in the month of June Hydrocephalus Canada reaches out across the country to encourage all Canadians to learn more about these serious disabling conditions and to appreciate the challenges faced by people living with them and the important messages around prevention of neural tube defects like spina bifida. Our programs and services exist to empower people living with hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida to live the best life possible. Physical and social barriers, medical complications, learning disabilities and financial burdens are some of the challenges that individuals with hydrocephalus and spina bifida, and their families must face each and every day.

Physical and social barriers, medical complications, learning disabilities and financial burdens are some of the challenges that individuals with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and their families must face each and every day.
