The Parkinson's Community

Just as THRFG Parkinson’s is committed to supporting people living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions, our Wellbeing Officers, too, are passionate about the holistic wellbeing of the entire community of people affected by Parkinson’s and other related disorders.

Family, friend and partners are also included in the definition of ‘people living with Parkinson’s’. Whether through relationship or by choice, anyone who lives with an individual diagnosed with Parkinson’s or other related conditions is also living with it every day, just differently. It’s a team effort!

Psychological Flexibility

Our wellbeing officers are trained in various therapeutic approaches, drawing heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Our team can work alongside you to help build your emotional and social wellbeing and promote “Psychological Flexibility”. What does psychological flexibility look like?

Being Present

We work with clients to develop a pattern of awareness that allows them to feel grounded and attuned to their sensory experiences

Connecting with Values

We unveil what is most important to you and allow you to connect to a deeper sense of what matters

Committed Actions

We can assist you to take steps towards your valued goals, even if uncomfortable feelings and thoughts have previous prevented you from taking action

Understanding the Self

We aim to connect people with their 'observer self'. This is where our thoughts and feelings can be held at a distance, allowing us to notice them without judgement

Defusion

We co-facilitate a process where thoughts can be understood in a broader context, allowing for proactive rather than reactive action

Acceptance

We help explore what is in your control, what you have influence over, and what sits outside your circle of control.
