Come join us in our virtual support group.
Now more than ever, it’s important for us to come together as a community and stay connected. We want to be a resource of hope, optimism and strength as WE, the Parkinson’s community, unite to help each other through a challenging time. Healthy social connections are critical for fostering support, learning, empathy and inspiration, and they help us maintain resilience during a time of crisis.
As we hope that many of you are staying home and practicing physical distancing we understand that you may feel frustrated, isolated, bored, hopeless and even scared. We urge you to get creative in finding ways to virtually socialize and stay connected with your community.
We look forward to seeing you then!!!
A little bit about Elizabeth (Liz) Brouillard:
Liz is a social worker and Clinical Director at a non-profit, outpatient mental health clinic in Massachusetts. She was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease in January 2018 at the age of 46.
Throughout her 28 years as a social worker, she has dedicated herself to working for non-profit organizations and community mental health. She has volunteered her time serving on the board of directors for several community organizations. Since her diagnosis she has looked for ways to combine her passion for social work, helping others, and the PD community. She co-founded and organizes a support group for women with Parkinson’s. This is the only support group exclusively for women living with Parkinson’s in the state of Massachusetts.
She is an Aware in Care Ambassador for the Parkinson’s Foundation as a way to help people advocate for their needs and improve the care they receive. Liz received her BA in social work from Regis College and her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boston University. She enjoys reading, hiking, and live theater, especially when her son is involved in the production.
