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.

Poverty Proofing
This webinar will explore the 'NHS Low Income', and 'Healthcare-related travel costs' schemes, as well as other finanical schemes, welfare grants and financial support options available to families affected by PANS and PANDAS.
It will also touch on other cost saving measures which could benefit our community.
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 Julie can be sure to provide you with the most accurate answer.
