LOCATIONS MENU Home / Support Groups Support Groups In an effort to help prevent the potential spread of Coronavirus in our communities and after careful consideration, effective immediately, all NHRN support group meetings, and all other community meetings (including pool groups) will be suspended until further notice. A member of NRHN staff will contact all group members when we believe it is appropriate to resume support groups and community programs. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this decision, and appreciate your understanding as this COVID-19 situation continues to evolve. We care about your health, even after you leave us. To support your recovery progress, we offer a variety of community and wellness support groups. Support and Wellness Groups provide you with the opportunity to share ideas, stories and triumphs with a like-minded community. We offer the following support groups for past patients and members of the public: Parkinson’s Support Groups Salem, NH LSVT Support Group: This 60 minute session meets once a month for NRHN graduates of the LSVT BIG or LOUD programs in order to help clients continue to practice what they have learned and strengthen their commitment to improving their lives.

Community Parkinson’s Wellness Program Our Parkinson’s Wellness Program helps you continue living an independent life! Exercise may benefit people living with Parkinson’s disease. It can improve walking, balance, strength and quality of life for people with Parkinson’s disease. Based on these findings, we began offering a group exercise program created by Boston University Medical Center that tracks how exercise can help people with Parkinson’s reduce falls and improve overall confidence and mental well-being. Trained physical and occupational therapists evaluate clients before the start of our program and again in the seventh week. These results are sent to Boston University Medical Center to be added to ongoing research.
