From how treatments are given to how they work, common side effects, response rates, and key considerations, these resources bring important information together in a way that’s easy to navigate.

Available for both adults and children with ITP.

On Monday, June 1st, PDSA and 24 ITP Warriors met with 35 Members of Congress to bring awareness to immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and to advocate for the creation of ITP Centers of Excellence — a vital initiative that would bring expert, comprehensive care to ITP patients nationwide. We also hosted a congressional briefing luncheon where one of our ITP Warriors shared their personal journey with more than 30 congressional staffers, highlighting the real‑world impact of ITP.

Your voice helps shape the future of advocacy! 🏛️
Make sure you’re signed up for our e‑News and events to receive the call for volunteers for the next ITP Hill Day. And most importantly, share your ITP story at pdsa.org — it’s one of the most powerful ways to be considered for future advocacy opportunities.

Living with ITP means your energy and symptoms can shift without warning.

If you need to change plans or take a step back, you deserve to do so with kindness toward yourself. Your health and well‑being matter and the people who care about you will understand. If you’re seeking a community that truly gets it, PDSA’s support groups are here at pdsa.org/find-itp-support.

Living with ITP can take a lot out of you from planning, worrying, tracking symptoms, and managing the unknown. Stress and fatigue can build up quickly. Taking moments to rest, breathe, and giving your brain space to relax is an important part of your care. Small moments of calm can make a big difference.

If your brain is asking for a break, drop a 🧠 to show our ITP community that none of us are carrying this alone.

Join us at the 2026 ITP Conference and invest in your journey with ITP.

Registration is now open, and financial scholarships are available to support your attendance — including two complimentary registrations and three nights at the conference hotel. Applications are due by July 1st.

We can’t wait to welcome you! Visit pdsa.org/conferences for more information.

Heavy periods, pregnancy worries, and perimenopause changes are challenges faced by women and girls+ diagnosed with ITP. PDSA’s free downloadable booklet gives clear, evidence-based guidance through every stage of life.
