The Invisible Illness Awareness Network (IIAN) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to create a more compassionate world for people affected by invisible illnesses and disabilities. Its mission is to provide a safe, supportive environment, reduce stigma, and improve understanding among patients, healthcare providers, and the wider community. IIAN focuses particularly on raising awareness among current and future healthcare professionals, while also supporting people and families seeking answers and care.

The organization offers the Invisibly Aware Series, an adaptable educational program designed for high schools, colleges, and other higher-education settings. It also provides resources and support for the invisible illness community, with the broader goals of improving quality of life and reducing diagnostic delays. Through education and community engagement, IIAN encourages greater compassion and understanding of conditions that may not be readily visible. Visitors can learn about its programs, connect through the organization, explore resources, join the community, or support its work through donations. IIAN also shares updates and meeting reminders through its newsletter.
