Remember that you are not alone with Parkinson’s disease. There are many resources available to help you. Consult your regional office or call Parkinson’s Quebec Information and Support Line at 1-800-720-1307.
Many people living with Parkinson’s disease find that support groups help them cope with the day-to-day challenges of the disease. This is a great way to reduce stress and meet people who are going through the same experience as you.
There are groups dedicated to people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. If the first group you choose is not right for you, there is always another group you can try.
If you can’t find a group that suits you in your area, you can start your own group. If you are not satisfied with the options available, others probably are too and would be happy to join your group.
A support group can help you find hope, knowledge and strength to cope with the disease.
