Creativity can look like a dance class, a support group, or a room where people truly understand.

At Friends of Parkinson’s, we bring those pieces together through music therapy, dance classes, educational workshops, wellness activities, and support groups designed to improve quality of life for people affected by Parkinson’s. We connect, learn, and support one another in ways that build resilience, hope, and community.

If our programs have been part of your journey, we’d love to hear what community at Friends of Parkinson’s means to you.

What keeps Art Therapy and Soulful Scribe going month after month?

Steady support. At Friends of Parkinson’s, recurring gifts help us provide materials, facilitators, and outreach so these programs can continue to offer connection, creativity, and support for people affected by Parkinson’s.

A creative practice can be a steady source of support.

At Friends of Parkinson’s, we know art and journaling can do more than fill a page. Painting, drawing, and writing can support fine motor skills, ease anxiety, lift mood, and create space for self-expression.

Research also shows regular art therapy can improve emotional well-being and self-esteem for people living with Parkinson’s. Create, reflect, and connect in ways that build resilience and community.

Strength is found in the moments we create together.

At Friends of Parkinson’s, our Art Therapy program is one way we connect, express, and find support as a community. Donor support helps make programs like this possible, creating space for creativity, reflection, and connection.

We’re grateful to everyone who stands with our Parkinson’s community.

1 million Americans are living with Parkinson’s disease.

At Friends of Parkinson’s, we know these numbers matter because Parkinson’s can affect anyone. Men and women are impacted in equal numbers, across every ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic background. While the average age of onset is 55, 15% of people diagnosed are under 50.

Know the facts. Share the awareness. Stand with our Parkinson’s community.

Two states down, 48 more to go.

Lawmakers in 13 states have proposed banning or restricting paraquat, a toxic herbicide that researchers have tied to an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. But efforts to outlaw it have failed across the Midwest.

Movement matters.

At Friends of Parkinson’s, we see the power of dance, movement, and creative expression in real life, not just in research. Studies have found that dance therapy can improve balance and gait, and creative arts therapies can help manage depression and anxiety.

Our programs bring those benefits together, helping people with Parkinson’s improve mobility, lift mood, and build social connection. Move, create, connect. That’s how community support becomes something you can feel.
