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.

Regulating the nervous system
A dysregulated nervous system can influence emotions, sensory experiences, and focus in children and young people. During a PANS or PANDAS flare, these responses may intensify.
Join Dr Joanne Riordan to discover supportive strategies for you and your family.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions, but if you have a burning question we invite you to submit it when you register, which will allow Dr Joanne time to provide a more comprehensive answer.
