Parkinson's Care Partners Support Groups
Caring for family members begins at home. Yet the challenges faced by care partners are many. Care partners may feel alone or overwhelmed by their caregiving demands, which can make it hard to cope and may lead to depression. Parkinson's Care Partners Support Groups are offered free of charge to all Parkinson's disease care partners in PA, NJ, DE, and MD.

A care partner's story:
A valuable resource... well worth the time invested in it. I learn a great deal more there than during the time I spend at the doctor's office.
