Associazione Parkinson Svizzera

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to introduce you to the **Associazione Parkinson Svizzera** (Association for Parkinson's Disease in Switzerland). Our organization is a point of contact for people affected by Parkinson's disease and their families. We see our main task as providing comprehensive support and guidance. We offer personal consultations on many aspects of the disease. This includes information about the disease itself, its symptoms, and treatment options. An important area is information on drug therapy and non-drug therapies. We also provide information on invasive and surgical procedures as well as alternative therapies. Those affected can also ask neurologists medical questions in our online consultation service, Parkinfon. We also offer assistance with topics such as employment, insurance coverage, and financing support services. Another important service is our self-help groups, which provide a space for meeting and sharing experiences. In addition, we organize events such as information days, courses, and seminars. For family members, we offer special seminars and counseling to support them in their often demanding role. Members can also find thematic brochures, films, and travel offers with us. Our target group is primarily people with Parkinson's disease and their close relatives.
