Migraine and other headache disorders are common and disabling neurological diseases. The impact on people, their families, their work, and society in general is significant. These conditions are highly variable and require adaptation and flexibility, both from people living with these conditions, their network, and from healthcare professional providing care.

As community members, we believe society should work toward a better life for people with migraine and headache in all ways possible. We aim to achieve the following:

1. People with migraine and headache disorders are not blamed, shamed, or stigmatized.
2. Health care providers are educated about migraine and headache diagnosis and treatment.
3. Effective and science-based treatments (including medications, procedures, neuromodulation, inpatient care, and behavioral approaches) are accessible.
4. Employers are informed about the impact of migraine and headache in the workplace and propose reasonable accommodations to allow employees to be fully productive.
5. Teachers and school personnel are educated to better support children with migraine and headache diseases.
6. People are protected from financial abuse by groups making excessive claims about miracle cures.
7. Migraine, in its severe chronic form, is recognized as a cause of disability.
8. Headache medicines are supported in Family Medicine, Neurology and other relevant academic departments by, among other initiatives, training residents adequately.
9. Research on migraine and headache disorders is adequately funded and is recognized as a public health priority.
10. Associations are active to allow people with migraine to find information, find support and advocate for a better quality of life.
