Meet the Hope Companions Peer Supporters
Peer Supporters provide caring support and guidance to their peers.
Hope Companions Peer Supporters convene bi-annually with the National Lead of Peer Support and IBA leadership to ensure the needs of the PANS PANDAS community are met. These meetings offer ample opportunities for leadership to share updates on new procedures, developments, IBA initiatives, and our latest findings, enabling us to continually grow and enhance our services for peer support members.

National Lead of Peer Support &
Peer Supporter (Eastern Canada)
My goal as the National Lead of Peer Support for IBA is to connect people nationwide via online and in-person forums so they may engage, talk, and listen to one another in a safe and supportive environment. I love meeting new people and families, and I’m constantly amazed by how many people with PANS PANDAS share similar traits and health challenges.
