Social media

[Simmon Belka]

AFAIK, there are many groups on both Facebook and TikTok that are dedicated to supporting people with Parkinson’s disease and raising awareness about the condition. As long as the content created is respectful, and people are considerate when sharing information about Parkinson’s disease or any other health condition on social media, it can be a good way to inform people who wouldn’t normally know much about it.

Thanks, Simmon – I agree! I have actually learned a lot about people and experiences different from my own from Tiktok. I haven’t yet come across any Parkinson’s content but I’m sure now that I’ve typed this reply, I will. It’s amazing how social media can support understanding and education across sometimes fast geographic, experiential and generational differences.
