Zoom Support Group - Atypical Parkinsonism

Zoom Support Group - Atypical Parkinsonism

Join us every week for our Zoom Support Group led by Tim Brown, a PSP/CBD Warrior, and co-led by Peter Firmin, a dedicated caregiver to his wife Ronwyn who battles Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). This group welcomes members from Canada, USA, UK, Australia, India, and beyond, creating a truly global community.

What We Offer:
- Support and Understanding: Tim and Peter provide a safe and confidential space where you can share your experiences or listen to others facing similar challenges with PSP, Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
- Resource Sharing: Gain access to the latest information, coping strategies, and emotional support.
- Confidentiality: All discussions are kept private, ensuring a secure environment for sharing.
- Meeting Recap: After each 2-hour session, a detailed recap is sent to all participants, ensuring everyone stays informed even if they miss a meeting.

This group is open to anyone on this journey, whether you've been diagnosed, you're a caregiver, or you're simply looking to support others. Our meetings are a testament to the strength found in community and shared experience.

Join us to connect, learn, and support each other in navigating these complex conditions.
