APDA PRESS ON Program
Next Session Winter of 2025
PRESS ON offers the opportunity for connecting with others with Parkinson’s disease for emotional support and sharing. The group also provides education about the progression of Parkinson’s disease and planning for the future.
Individuals who might be a good fit for the group are people who have been living with Parkinson’s for 5+ years and are experiencing noticeable symptoms of PD that make daily life harder. Care partners are encouraged to attend the PRESS ON sessions, although the individual with PD should be able to attend alone if necessary.
Date & Time: Tuesdays, February 18 – April 8, 2025; 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET
Location: Home Computer – Via Zoom
Contact & Register: Cathi Thomas at the APDA Information & Referral Center at Boston University School of Medicine at 617-638-8466 or neurocat@bu.edu
