Parkinson’s Disease Support Groups: Strength in Community

Living with Parkinson’s disease brings daily challenges—but no one has to face them alone. Across the country, support groups are creating vital spaces for connection, encouragement, and shared understanding.

Often hosted by hospitals, wellness centers, or organizations like the Parkinson’s Foundation, these groups welcome individuals with Parkinson’s, caregivers, and family members. Whether meeting in person or online, participants exchange practical advice, emotional support, and strategies for living well with the disease.
Support groups often feature expert speakers—neurologists, therapists, or mental health professionals—who offer guidance on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Caregivers also benefit by finding reassurance, information, and a space to share their own experiences.

More than anything, these groups provide hope and belonging. They remind participants they’re not alone—and that healing often begins in community.
