The next YOPD meeting is tomorrow!

YOPD is Alabama’s first statewide Young Onset Parkinson’s virtual support group. Each month, individuals living with YOPD connect with each other online to exchange resources, navigate challenges, and celebrate successes.

You don’t have to live in Alabama to join this support group. If you identify with the Young Onset Parkinson's community or feel these conversations reflect your experience, we hope you’ll join us!
