You never have to face PSP alone; our network of local support groups around the country are a way to meet others who understand what you are going through, and to find encouragement and solutions to problems you are facing.
The meetings are open to everyone, whether you are currently living with PSP/CBD , are a carer, family member or friend. We also welcome past carers, health and social care professionals and people who would like to support the work of the PSPA at a local level. These groups are an opportunity to catch up, discuss the things that matter to you, support one another and enjoy a welcome break over a cuppa.
We try to respond to the needs of different groups, which means they may run in different ways around the country. For example, some groups invite visiting speakers such as healthcare professionals or benefits advisors on how to ‘get into the system' to find helpful aids, therapies or financial support. Others have arranged activities or equipment demonstrations, while others have lobbied their local MP, primary care trust or authority for better services. Often, our own PSP nurses share expertise on managing PSP and CBD every day.
If you would like to attend a group and are not already a PSP member or linked with your local group, please contact or phone . (Booking is essential to help us manage venue numbers and ensure we can let you know about any changes beforehand.)
