Support Group Facilitator - Orillia
Parkinson Canada is recruiting Support Group Facilitators for Orillia, ON. 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. The group meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 1:30-3:30 ET. 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.
