Services and resources1:1 Peer support program 1:1 Peer support program At Parkinson Canada, we offer a national 1:1 peer mentoring program that connects people with Parkinson’s — or those caring for someone — to trained volunteer mentors who’ve walked a similar path. This program provides one-on-one support based on the lived experience of the mentor to help reduce social isolation, build resilience, and provide guidance. It’s a program that brings individuals together to share experiences, creating a supportive community that understands the challenges of navigating life with Parkinson’s. The program offers opportunities to meet virtually, in-person or in hybrids formats. Why connect with a peer mentor? A peer mentor can make a real difference.
