Support Group Meetings (9 Types)
Partner in Care Meetings
Open to: Non-Professional Caregivers

Village Meetings
Open to: People with Parkinson’s, Caregivers, Friends of the Community
These educational meetings feature professionals serving the Parkinson’s community. Each meeting is packed with a wealth of information following themes like “Paying for Care,” “What to Know About Hospice” and “Nutrition” – you’ll want to bring a pencil and notepad!
Round Table Meetings
Open to: People with Parkinson’s & Caregivers
Join a loving circle of like-minded individuals. Gather advice and technical knowledge about medication, therapies, common symptoms, and more. Learn what works for others, share what works for you. Realize that others can relate to and learn from your journey with Parkinson’s.
Mindfulness Meetings
Open to: People with Parkinson’s, Caregivers, Friends of the Community
Led by medical hypnotherapist Roger Moore. These meetings teach skills to help you improve your sleep, overcome trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, fear, and exhaustion through simple at-home exercises, guided meditations, and exploration of the body/mind connection. Give yourself the gift of a pause, and discover how you can improve your health, strengthen your resilience and enhance your coping skills.

Young Onset Parkinson's Round Table (31-59)
Open to: People with Parkinson’s & Caregivers between the ages 31-59

Join Young Parkinson’s to discuss topics like dating, socializing, parenting, and working with Parkinson’s with people facing the same challenges as you.
