Peer Coaching

The IPPF’s Peer Coaches offer the opportunity to communicate with specific members of the IPPF community who have pemphigus and pemphigoid. Peer Coaches are volunteers who have learned how to manage their diseases. They are willing to share their personal tips and tricks, as well as IPPF resources and educational materials that help people affected by pemphigus and pemphigoid to have meaningful discussions with their healthcare teams.
