Events
Awareness nights, parent education sessions, clinician trainings, and the community events that fund the center. Everything here is open to families whether or not you've ever contacted us.
Times listed in Pacific. Registration opens well before each event — join the list and we'll email you when dates are set.
Our first community event. Giving blood is one of the most direct things a person can do for a child in treatment — and it costs nothing but an hour. Open to everyone; no connection to PANDAS or PANS required.
Four recurring formats. If one of them belongs at your school, practice, or community group, we'll bring it.
Plain-language sessions on what PANDAS and PANS look like, what the workup involves, how to talk to your pediatrician, and how to hold a household together during a flare. Free, no registration barrier, and always with time for questions.
Grand rounds, lunch-and-learns, and in-service sessions for pediatric practices, psychiatry groups, and school health teams. The single fastest way to shorten diagnostic delay in this region is to make more clinicians recognize the pattern.
Small, informal gatherings where parents who are living this meet parents who have been through it. For many families this is the first room they've ever been in where nobody needed the diagnosis explained.
Signature events, birthday and workplace drives, races, and school campaigns — the community side of building the center. We'll help you run one and provide the materials.
Schools, pediatric practices, parent groups, faith communities, and workplaces — if you can gather the people, we'll bring the session.
Press & speakers. For media inquiries or to request a speaker for your conference, email info@pediatrichelporg.org.
Once we've held our first events, they'll be listed here — what we ran, and who came.
