CMP has been leading monthly meditation sessions
for our PwP for a year for free as a community service.

As a community wellness partner, we're reaching out to share an exciting program that we're offering in 2023, that will support skills around emotional regulation, stress management, physical wellbeing, and emotional learning!  We think you'll enjoy this program and benefit from the mindfulness tools.

Watch The Long Road to Hope, which tells the stories of 12 incredible people with Parkinson’s disease and their journeys towards ending the disease through Prevention, Advocacy, Care and Treatment. 
We need volunteers to help with PBM social media, nonprofit accounting and recruiting people with PD to our PBM program at the Bridgeport YMCA. if interested, please contact elainegrant@parkinsonsbodyandmind.org
 Across all PD research, 85 percent of trials face delays and 30 percent never get started because of the chronic shortage of volunteers. This means people with Parkinson’s wait longer for better solutions to manage the disease.
