Young Onset: Power Over Parkinson’s is making a concerted effort to provide services to people in Monterey County newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease who are under the age of 50. Young Onset patients face unique challenges that might include work and career disruption, family and parenting responsibilities, and complex treatment decisions. We offer classes later in the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a once-a-month rock-climbing class, as well as Care Partner Support Groups twice a month.

The POP community is a welcoming place where personal experiences are shared with compassion and empathy. We understand the highs and lows of living with PD, exchange knowledge and support one another every step of the way.

*We proudly serve as the local affiliate of the nationally recognized Rock Steady Boxing program.
Speech follows the SPEAK OUT® modality, a program developed by the Parkinson’s Voice Project.
Dance for Parkinson's is part of the globally acclaimed initiative.
