information SERVICE DETAILS

In this monthly group people with Parkinson’s talk, laugh, share experiences, and learn to be forthright about feelings and needs. We exchange information about what works for us as individuals: whatever has improved the quality of life for someone and so potentially for others.

The group is not facilitated but self-led. We learn how to deal emotionally with what the world throws at us now that we have PD; how to maintain our sense of humour and our fighting spirit. Spontaneous comments include “It’s so good to be able to talk about Parkinson’s without boring anyone!” and “The feeling of understanding and companionship was heart-warming”.

The meetings are always held at 2:00pm on the first Thursday of the month.

If you would like to give the group a try, please contact Alison Williams at alison@edinburghparkinsons.org or Bill Wright at bill@edinburghparkinsons.org.

How to get there:
