Patients and caregivers of patients with a rare disease such as pheo para present unique challenges such as delays in diagnosis, lack of information, expertise, and treatment options.

Our peer navigation program offers patients and those affected an opportunity to connect with others, share knowledge and experience, build a supportive community, and reduce isolation and fear of living with the disease.

Currently, patients and caregivers can connect in the following ways:

One-on-one Peer Support

Our one-on-one peer navigation support program can match you up with someone who is also affected by pheo para.  You can connect with them by phone, email, text, or messenger.  This person will allow you an opportunity to share your pheo para experience in a non-judgmental, confidential environment.  Peers provide peer navigation support, encouragement, and information.  You can connect just once or for up to two hours per month. Please fill out this form if you would like peer support.
