Norm Waitt Sr. YMCA Support Group Grant

December 3, 2020

Congratulations to the Norm Waitt Sr. YMCA!

Parkinson’s Nebraska is proud to award the Norm Waitt Sr. YMCA with a program grant! The grant will provide a facilitator fee, marketing costs, program material costs, and refreshments for a new Parkinson’s support group in S. Sioux City, NE.   

At each monthly session, the group will have pre-planned topics such as stress management, community resources, coping strategies, communication, and more. Participants will be provided with hand-outs and other resources to take home with them. It will be offered immediately after the Delay the Disease class to make it easy for class participants to join the group.

The support group will be led by Dawn Welsh, MSW. Dawn attended the Parkinson’s Nebraska Delay the Disease training in 2019 and has become an integral part of the S. Sioux City PD community. She has experience leading groups in her role as a social worker and will bring much passion and knowledge to the facilitator role.

We are so grateful to have leaders like Jacque and Dawn in the Parkinson’s community. They are committed to strengthening the S. Sioux City PD community and making education and support accessible. We could not make an impact without them!
