I want to find a caregivers support group for Parkinsons Disease. Can you help me?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Hello @pookielightfoot and welcome to the Parkinson's Support Group on Mayo Connect. I see that you are looking for a Caregiver's Support Group. Here on Connect we have many discussions for caregivers. Here is a link to all of those discussion groups:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/?pg=1#discussion-listview
And here is Caregiver's discussion group that is specifically for caregivers of Parkinson's patients.
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/parkinsons-with-diabetis-and-dialysis-end-of-life/
Please look through the discussions and see where your needs might be best met.

How long have you been a caregiver for a PD patient? What struggles are you facing at this point?
