PRESS provides an opportunity for people with PD and one care partner or family member to meet with others facing a similar experience and share coping strategies regarding day-to-day issues related to living with Parkinson’s. For many people with PD, the program is a gateway to education, support services, and community-based advocacy. PRESS is a place to share their experiences, feelings, and strategies for coping with the disease.  Facilitator: Terri Trafas, LICSW; Contact: Cathi Thomas MS, RN at the APDA Information & Referral Center at Boston University Medical Campus at 800-651-8466 or apdama@apdaparkinson.org.
