PANS PANDAS UK

For Young People

A mixed collage of the Taming Olivia logo and Pans Pandas logo

Coming soon!

Our Youth Board is working with the awesome Taming Olivia on something pretty special for children and young people with PANS and PANDAS.

Taming Olivia support people experiencing OCD symptoms. As well as offering a compassionate safe space, it provides information and resources for educators and professionals.

Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know more about this collaboration.

(Please note, Taming Olivia also discuss subjects and circumstances affecting adults, which may not be suitable for a younger audience)

You Are Not Alone

You can read all about other young people with PANS and PANDAS by visiting our life stories section.

I’d like to help raise awareness of PANS and PANDAS
