Gloria I posted one source for you to look at that I liked, but overlooked one that is relatively new and is in my backyard near Seattle. On its board is a former Washington State governor who also has PD. He has made a point of making his condition public knowledge once it was diagnosed. He was the key note speaker at one Democratic convention which reflected the national respect he had. Now his attention has turned to being an advocate for Parkinson's and in this his reputation has helped PD become known to many. The NW Parkinson's Foundation is what I would wish for all who live in the US; a place to come to as the pwp as a family member or loved one to learn how to live with PD. It not only offers help to the pwp, but to the family as a whole learning to cope and to take care of their needs through counseling and connections to groups. It is an all encompassing idea. The url I list below. One can ask to be on their mailing list and still benefit from the ongoing activity that the site offers.
