Stanford Young Onset Parkinson's Support Group

Stanford's APDA Information & Referral Center and Stanford Parkinson's Community Outreach coordinate a local Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) support group. This YOPD support group is open to those diagnosed with PD by age 50 or younger, and their family members. Since April 2020, the group meets virtually, the second Tuesday of each month, 7-8:30pm PT.   Group members gather in-person for a picnic in the summer and for a holiday party in December.

If you live in Northern California and are interested in being added to the meeting reminder email list, please contact John Mamin, phone 650-248-7363, or Robin Riddle, phone 650-724-6090.

Every year, about half of the meetings feature a guest speaker, and half are open discussion.  Occasionally, the guest speaker shares handouts or slides, permitting us to post this information to this webpage.  Below, are some speaker handouts plus recent speaker lists.
