Care 4 the caregiver

Care 4 the Caregiver is a new program intended to support those who are caring for PANDAS/PANS children, youth and young adults. It is a way in which we honor our former board member, Carly Absher, who lost her life in February of 2024 after an ongoing battle with cancer. Care 4 the Caregiver is a reminder that in order to care for those with PANDAS/PANS/AE, we must care for ourselves as well. May this program create space and permission for you, the caregiver, to honor your needs. You cannot draw water from an empty well.
