About The
Canadian Psoriasis Network
The Canadian Psoriasis Network is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Our board of directors is comprised of psoriasis patients with a common story of suffering but a greater one of taking control of our disease. It is this renewed hope and the liberation from the devastating effects of psoriasis on the physical, emotional and social elements of life that has motivated us to try and help everyone who suffers like we have. In short this is a very personal effort for us, we are all volunteers and all we want is to help you.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life of people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by providing current information on research and treatment options and by working with others to build awareness and advocacy about the complexities of these conditions.
OUR VISION
A future without psoriatic disease.
To achieve this:
- Psoriasis (and its related health issues) must be treated as a serious and potentially debilitating health condition.
- The highest standards of treatments (and supports) must be easily accessible.
- Greater awareness about the complexity of this condition must be achieved.
- A cure must be found.
