Outside Community Resources For Lyme, PANDAS and PANS
Over the years, our center has offered free support groups. We had one for cancer survivors in 2016 and before that, we supported parents of children with Lyme/PANS/PANDAS.
Walking through the darkness of a chronic illness can be isolating and at times terrifying. Many of our therapists are Lyme, PANDAS and PANS literate. Getting the help of someone who really gets it can be SO helpful, but sometimes counseling therapy support isn't enough.
Look below for resources within the community. We can offer a list of doctors we trust who are able to diagnose and treat these varied infections and diseases, but we only offer this upon personal request. If you would like the list of doctors, a 1:1 therapy appointment, or if you would like to tell us that one of our ideas is no longer valid or if you know of a resource that we haven't listed, please comment below.
