PD Support Groups
Caregiver only Support Groups
Online Support Group Forums
With online support group forums, comments or questions are posted to a message board and replies from other group members trickle in over hours or days. Members can post and read messages posted by other members at any time of the day or night.
Some groups have a moderator to 'police' the posts, others do not.
Video Support Groups -- National and International
Video Support Groups use videoconferencing for meetings. Meetings are at a specific time on a regular schedule (weekly or monthly). The video support groups listed here are for people with PD as well as caregivers. There's a wide variety options available.
