This year, our 2021 HIE Awareness Month theme is TEAM HOPE. We are excited to encourage our global HIE community to share about their teams... each family has their own team they assemble throughout their HIE journey. Whether that is made up of friends and family, neighbors, doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, teachers, administrators and more, we are all one TEAM HOPE!

Join Dr. Mohamed El-Dib, President of the Newborn Brain Society, and noted leader in neonatal neurological critical care, to learn more about HIE, current treatments and the newborn brain.

Join Monica Lemmon, MD, child neurologist, and Beth Robinson Swartz, MD, retired pediatrician, to learn perspectives in transitioning out of the NICU into community care, and strategies for building productive and effective relationships with your child's medical care team. This event will be hosted LIVE on Facebook, and shared widely post-event across Hope for HIE communication channels.

Each year on April 20th, we recognize, remember, mourn, and honour our HIE children who have passed away. We honor their families and their memories through a worldwide wave of light.

Join Dr. Hannah Glass and Dr. Renee Shellhaas for an insightful conversation about the connection between HIE and seizures, the development and connection to rare seizure types such as Infantile Spasms, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, and ESES, as well as general epilepsy. Learn about their groundbreaking research to improve the quality of life for children and families impacted by neonatal seizures caused by HIE through the collaborative Neonatal Seizure Registry project.
