Virtual Support Group
Our virtual support group for Africans impacted by Parkinson's disease, along with their carers and families, provides a space to connect with others facing similar challenges. It’s a place to share stories, discuss struggles, and offer encouragement and support. We warmly invite all Africans living with Parkinson's disease to join this empowering and supportive community. You can register to attend here.
Each session is a 1-hour drop-in support group, focusing on engaging discussions around specific topics. These sessions are designed to encourage active participation and foster meaningful connections, ideally led by individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PwPs). Join our WhatsApp community to get updates on the go. View some meeting recordings here.
Here is our 2026 monthly schedule. Join the meeting live.
