Welcome to the Support Group Facilitator Resources page! This space is designed to provide all the tools and information you need to lead your support group effectively. We’ve consolidated everything to make it easy for you to access essential materials, webinar recordings, and presentations.
Volunteer facilitators play a vital role in the Parkinson’s community. As a facilitator, you provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners to connect, share experiences, and offer mutual support.
Your work helps to foster a sense of community, reduce isolation, and empower participants to live well with Parkinson’s. Whether guiding conversations, offering encouragement, or helping members navigate challenges, your contributions ensure that these groups are a valuable resource for emotional support and practical information.
We recognize the time, energy, and care you invest as a facilitator. Your dedication directly impacts the well-being of those affected by Parkinson’s disease, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
