Support Group Leader Training
One of CurePSP’s goals is to expand the number of support groups and peer supporters we have all across the country, including Canada. We are always on the lookout for people who are willing to start a group, offer some support in their area, and widen our support services to include more individuals affected by neurodegenerative diseases.
We want to make it as easy as possible for volunteers to create and run support groups to ensure they can provide continuous comfort to those utilizing them. We have created a Support Group Leader Training Manual, courtesy of Wendy Resnick, RN, MS, CS, that will provide guidance on how to run the group, suggestions for discussion topics, useful tools like onsite attendance forms, and various other things to help the meetings run smoothly.
