Parenting Strategies with Vicky Queralt

Navigating PANS and PANDAS online conference

Last year, our community came together to raise vital funds for informative conferences created to connect, educate and inspire families affected by PANS or PANDAS.

Thanks to this overwhelming generosity, we are really pleased to announce our online conference providing insights, strategies and support for parents and carers affected by PANS and PANDAS. This is the first of many supportive events that we have planned.

The week is packed full of hand-picked specialist speakers, delivering free informative webinars on topics designed to support you and your family.

Parenting Strategies

This webinar will explore why experiencing PANS or PANDAS can feel so intense for both children and parents, and how compassion and practical strategies can help navigate "the storm".

Vicky will address the pressure parents often feel for their child to “return to baseline” and explore how to shift towards celebrating progress step by step, reducing pressure, and finding steadiness in the present. You’ll learn how to build skills for tolerating uncertainty and support your emotional wellbeing.

Vicky will also share compassion-focused strategies to reduce threat and over-drive while strengthening the soothing system - for both parent and child.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions, and if you have a burning question before the webinar we would invite you to submit this when you register so that Vicky can be sure to provide you with the most accurate answer.
