Since 2003, the Autour des Williams association has brought together families affected by Williams & Beuren syndrome. With the help of friends, doctors, and partners, we are building a network.
Our main objectives are:
- To fund research projects validated by our Medical and Scientific Council. Up to date, more than half a million euros has been invested in 45 research projects on Williams syndrome in France and Europe.
- Welcoming and supporting families in various areas: schooling, health, integration through a private exchange group on Facebook and annual meetings. Thanks to the creation of a parent relay group, Autour des Williams’ association is available to support families from the moment they are diagnosed.
- Raising awareness and providing information to the general public and professionals to help children, teenagers and adults with the syndrome.
