Self-management courses

A path through Parkinson's is a free self-management programme designed to help you navigate your life with Parkinson's. It is for people with Parkinson's, partners and carers.
Each self-management group is led by trained volunteer facilitators with first-hand experience of Parkinson's.
The aim is to share experiences and discuss the practical and emotional impact of Parkinson’s.
The programme offers a time-limited, structured and facilitated chance to talk through some of the bigger questions about life with the condition. In this way it differs from the really valuable support provided by our branches and local support groups.
