Directions

What We Do...

At the most rudimentary level our primary objectives are to share, to communicate, to impart, to explain, to encourage, to celebrate, to empathize, to network and to educate.

 

We come together to exchange ideas and information, to tell of our own experiences and learn how those relate to the experiences of others, to enlighten each other with information about discovers, treatments, recommendations, medications, and approaches, to ask questions, to discuss ways of compensating, to talk about successes and failures and promising and disappointing aspects of the pursuit of a better life with Parkinson.

 

We raise awareness of common cause and let our members know and understand that they and their loved ones are not alone, are not facing what may appear as insurmountable obstacles all by themselves, are not the first nor the last to tread this path, but being comforted in knowing that theirs is not a unique, lonely and solitary journey.

 

We share openly, we discuss openly, we allow for unburdening in a safe and caring and non-clinical environment where everyone has some understanding of various aspects of this progressive disease and thereby holds a better appreciation of what others are going through.

 

Most of all we provide a collegial environment for expressing our deepest inner thoughts and feelings about the journey that we are all sharing in one way or another, and to take comfort in the support or many who will gladly go out of their way to assist wherever and whenever possible, be they members of the group or outsiders.
 

Because we care!
