Canadian PANS PANDAS caregivers, you’re invited to join Jessica in two weeks for a supportive peer meeting. Details in the post!

Add your voice to the Canadian PANS Registry. Together, we can strengthen understanding and improve care for Canadians affected by PANS and PANDAS.

🌿 Join Our Peer Support Team! As Canada’s PANS/PANDAS community grows, so does the need for compassionate voices. Peer support can make a real difference: If you can listen, support, and create a safe space, we’d love to hear from you. 👉 Contact: nancy@inflamedbrain.org

Meet Daniela Burgoa, our new Work Integrated Learning student from York University! “IBA is of interest to me due to my passion for bringing health access and information to different communities. I’ll be working alongside Marnie and others to bring the 2027 conference to life!”

For many, Halloween means costumes, lights & laughter. For children with PANS/PANDAS, it can feel out of reach. Tonight, let’s hold space for those who can’t join in. We see you, parents. We celebrate every step of your child’s progress. 🧡

I’m amazed at the support for IBA’s 3rd annual walk. If you’re not doing anything tomorrow between noon and 3 PM drop in at one of the in-person locations or step out virtually to honor children and families battling PANS PANDAS. You will not be disappointed!

Calgary friends, I’d love to have you join me at this years Steppin’ Out for PANS PANDAS 2 & 5 km walk at Bowness Park. Check-in starts at noon, and the walk begins at 1. Hope to see you there!

Just 4 more sleeps! There’s still time to join us. Every step shows our kids hope in action and gives them strength.

Did you know a large part of IBA’s walk funds went to hosting Canada’s 1st national medically accredited PANS PANDAS conference + creating the ethics-approved Canadian PANS Registry? 🙌 Help IBA keep building—support the 2027 conference, registry upkeep + more.

Many PANS PANDAS families have never met in person. Kids feel seen and understood when they do, stigma fades and hope grows. 💕 Join our Canadian community this Saturday!

Every step counts! 👟 The more families and supporters walking together, the stronger our voice for PANS/PANDAS awareness. There’s still time to join. See u there!
