Local Support Group Meetings for Care Partners
Care partners play a major role in the well-being of a person with Parkinson's disease. Within these sessions, people experiencing PD and their care partners have the opportunity to share information for newly diagnosed people and their care givers, share tips for managing a loved one's care, navigating a relationship with a Parkinson's diagnosis and making time to care for oneself. Real people sharing real experiences!
We will also have special events by inviting speakers, and information on access to special events regarding information on managing symptoms, updates on the search for a cure, etc.
A care partner is an essential member of a person's medical and care teams. While most care partners are spouses, children, siblings, and parents, even friends can be part of the care team.
The role of a Parkinson's care partner will evolve over the years; therefore, we want to offer you resources and action plans to help YOU live well while also while providing the best care possible for your loved one.” Thank you to our Care Partner Support Group Leader and Host - Peggy Hubbell

Pickaway County Caregiver Support Group
As Parkinson’s disease progresses over time — so does your role as a care partner. Build a support system with people who understand.
The caregiver support group is presented by the Alzheimer's Association and conducted by trained facilitators. This is a safe place for people experiencing living with dementia brought on by ALS or PD. These support groups allow people living with dementia to:
- Develop a support system
- Exchange practical information on challenges and possible solutions
- Talk through issues and ways or coping
- Share feelings, needs and concerns
- Learn about community resources
Please join us for an in-person caregiver support group each month on the 2nd Thursday from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm at the Pickaway County Library located at 1160 North Court St., Circleville, Ohio 43113. To register, please call 800.272.3900

The Parkinson’s Foundation Care Partner Resources
The Secret Life of Parkinson's is a podcast created by Parkinson's patients, sharing their stories
and interviewing others, on things we deal with on a daily basis. It's hard for people with PD to
talk to others about the disease because sometimes it's difficult for the patient themselves to
describe what they are feeling. Talking to other PD patients helps us express what we are going through in ways we might not be able to express to family and friends. (Subscription Available)
