Great tools to use during the Pandemic

Some organizations have stepped up for pwp who have lost socialization, and usually exercise programs and support groups.  Even for those exercise programs that started up again, some pwp don't feel comfortable going out.

A sampling...

Here are a selection of services that are available now:

PMD Alliance (that's Parkinson's and Movement Disorder Alliance) has been stellar at providing live and recorded on-line programs, providing on-line support, and even helping support group leaders move their groups on-line.

Ask your Rock Steady Boxing or other PD exercise program if they have a Zoom program.  Ask your local support group, too.  Contact information is at   https://www.pmdalliance.org/resources/   I cannot say enough about how useful PMD Alliance has become to our community.
