Meetings and gatherings of various support groups now frequently utilize the video conferencing platform Zoom.
In a remarkable shift towards digital connectivity, more than 21 Parkinson's NSW Support Groups and various Carers and Leadership Teams are now meeting regularly via the video-chat application Zoom. This transition, facilitated by Support Group Coordinator Felicity Jones, is revolutionising the way people connect and share experiences across the state.
To set up Zoom meetings for your group, you would typically need to:
- Create a Zoom account if you don't already have one.
- Schedule meetings in Zoom, with options for recurring meetings if needed.
- Share the meeting links and details beforehand with your group members via email or other communication channels.
- Consider using features like waiting rooms and meeting passcodes to enhance security.
- Provide support or instructions to members unfamiliar with Zoom.
For Parkinson's NSW Support Groups and Carers specifically, it's best to directly contact the organisation or the person responsible for group coordination. While the search results do not provide specific instructions or contact information for Felicity Jones, you can try:
- Visiting the official Parkinson's NSW website to find support group contacts.
- Contacting Parkinson's NSW general office or support team for Felicity Jones's contact.
- Using Parkinson's NSW email addresses or phone numbers listed publicly (not found in the current search).
Felicity Jones also helps some of the Group Leaders set up their meetings and invite participants to join online. The first leader meeting attracted 29 members from 23 different Groups, and a new Support Group Leader Zoom meeting is launched every two weeks, also facilitated by Felicity Jones.
A regular Carers Zoom meeting is now available, connecting people from across NSW. Laurelle from the Port Stephens (formerly Tomaree) Support Group participated in her first Zoom meeting and found it easy to navigate.
Moreover, some groups are setting fun themes for each of their Zoom meetings, such as wearing funny hats or all dressing in a particular colour. Zoom also provides opportunities to link in guests from other organizations who can present to and converse with all participants.
With Zoom being free and usable on any computer or smartphone, this digital shift is making support group meetings more accessible than ever before.
