IBA’s Peer Support Chapters offer hope.

Improve your wellbeing with others who share common experiences.

Peer Support Chapter Format

Peer support chapters are led by and for caregivers, and adults impacted by PANS/PANDAS in regions across Canada.
Group sizes vary from chapter to chapter.
Chapters may have guest speakers on topics ranging from parenting to self care and more.
Chapters meet 3-4 times a year, and sometimes more often depending on the interests of the leader and group.
We meet at comfortable public spaces (e.g. coffee shops, community spaces, or at the local child and youth mental health agency).
Joining an IBA peer support chapter is free and there is no commitment required.

If a chapter group does not exist in your area, you are welcome to join another group (if they offer on-line) until one forms in your community.
