Shirley Kessel from the Miles for Migraine team recently attended the Migraine and Headache International Patient Associations Summit in Switzerland, hosted by the European Migraine and Headache Alliance.
The summit brought together patient advocates, clinicians, and researchers from across Europe and beyond, all united by one goal: putting migraine where it belongs—on the agenda.
During the summit, Shirley, alongside Susan Doughty from CHAMP, presented "How to Speak About Migraine," a proposal focused on the importance of using thoughtful, accurate language and imagery when talking about migraine.
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to represent and advocate for the migraine community on an international stage. 💜🧠
