PANS/PANDAS Parents: VA&NC
Fantastic support group! As I warn further down, this group goes over serious and intense symptomology. Some parents share intense situations that feel very helpless and need to be heard. If certain topics are triggering to you be aware before you go on that this page, while very informative, can also be hard to scroll through on a particularly difficult day.
PANDAS/PANS Virginia
Another fantastic group with very knowledgeable members in a clam and supportive environment. As above some parents share intense situations that feel very helpless and need to be heard. If certain topics are triggering to you be aware before you go on that this page, while very informative, can also be hard to scroll through on a particularly difficult day.
