Online Support Groups

Many people cannot travel to meet with an in-person support group, or do not want to attend one, but are still looking for the comradery and comfort they provide. CurePSP recognizes this need and sponsors online support groups that allow participants the opportunity to interact with other patients, caregivers, and family members affected by PSP, CBD, MSA, or related brain diseases by using their computer, telephone (charges may be incurred), or both. By using a computer the facilitator is able to share their screen with the attendees, and can share documents, images, and other visual aids. This has proven to be a very helpful feature for the sessions and beneficial for those attending. 

TO REGISTER AND USE:

• Click the meeting link for the group that suits you and register for the online program
• At the meeting time, use your computer to go online and follow the meeting link for your group
• Follow the prompts and choose to either listen in with your computer’s microphone and speakers or follow the instructions to dial in with your phone (instructions also included below)

For more information about the meeting you want to participate in, please contact the Facilitator. If you have other questions about support services, please email info@curepsp.org.
