Events and Support Groups for People With Movement Disorders

If you are living with a movement disorder (or are a caregiver), there is a wealth of educational and support programs in the Baltimore area that can help you learn more about your condition and network with others. These workshops, seminars, singing groups and dance and exercise programs support the well-being of all local families touched by movement disorders.

Attention: Many classes/events have schedules and locations TBD as programs return to in-person meetings. For more information on these or any other classes or resources, please contact health educator Sarah Phelan at [email protected].
