Help Shape the Future of Psychotherapy in PANS/PANDAS

We’re inviting caregivers, clinicians, and individuals with lived experience to take part in an important research survey led by the MIND Global Council.

This brief 20-minute survey is designed to help build the evidence base for psychotherapy guidelines in PANS/PANDAS and related neuroimmune conditions. Your voice will directly contribute to developing more informed, ethical, and effective approaches to care.

There is a critical need for research that helps clinicians better understand these complex presentations—so that care is guided by thoughtful, evidence-based approaches rather than misinterpretation. When we better understand the role of biology, we can improve outcomes for individuals and families navigating these conditions.

Who can participate?
• Individuals with lived experience
• Caregivers
• Clinicians

If you are both a caregiver and a clinician, you are welcome to complete both surveys.

We would be so grateful if you could also help share this with others who may be interested. Thank you for partnering with the MIND Global Council in advancing care and creating meaningful change.
