Support Group Facilitator (Lived Experience) - Smiths Falls

Parkinson Canada is recruiting a person with lived experience (either living with Parkinson's or a care partner) to be a Co-Facilitator for a Support Group in Smiths Falls. 

The volunteer for this group must be available on the 3rd Monday of every month from 11:30-1:30 ET.

The Support Group Facilitator plays a critical role in the delivery of support services at community level. Once a month, they create a confidential and welcoming space, where people living with Parkinson’s and/or their care partners can share their experiences and develop supportive relationships in a group setting. 

As a Support Group Facilitator, you bring a keen desire to make a difference in the lives of people affected by Parkinson’s.  Your empathetic approach, enthusiasm for learning, and ability to facilitate discussion about issues related to Parkinson’s are key factors in ensuring that monthly support groups are safe spaces.
