🧭 Support & Journey Guides
Guidance, programs, and mentorship to help you move forward.
The Support tab has three main sections as you scroll down:
1. Journey Guides — Find Your Match
Journey Guides are real people living with Parkinson's (or caring for someone who is) who volunteer to walk alongside you. They're trained, reviewed, and matched based on your preferences.
What Makes Circles Special
Circles are the heart of peer support in The Club. Unlike clubs (which are larger, open groups), circles are small, private groups that meet regularly over Zoom — most bi-weekly or monthly. Think of them like an ongoing support group with the same people each time, facilitated by a trained Circle Host. You apply to join and a host reviews your request to keep the group the right fit.

- Tap "Find My Match"
- If you haven't already, create your Support Profile (what you're looking for, communication preferences, etc.)
- Browse compatible Journey Guides — you'll see match scores
- Tap "Request This Journey Guide" on the one who feels right
- Add an optional message about what you're looking for
- Wait for the guide to accept — you'll be notified!
2. Bootcamps (Guided Programs)
Structured programs like "So You've Got Parkinson's... Now What?" and "Care Partner Grounding." These are small-group guided experiences.
3. The Exchange — Programs & Services Directory
A searchable directory of Parkinson's programs, services, and organizations worldwide.
How to browse The Exchange
- Tap Support in the bottom nav
- Scroll down to "Explore Programs & Services"

👁️ Simple Mode & OFF State Mode
Two ways to make the app easier to read and tap.
Simple Mode (permanent, for everyday use)
Simple Mode gives you a calmer dashboard with larger text, bigger buttons, fewer cards, and a single-column layout. Use it any time you want less on screen.
How to turn on Simple Mode
- Tap your avatar in the top-right corner
- Tap Simple mode to check it
- Your dashboard will switch right away — and stay that way next time you sign in
- Tap it again to switch back to Standard
OFF State Mode (temporary, for the moment)
OFF State Mode is a quick toggle for moments when Parkinson's makes fine motor control hard — it enlarges text and touch targets just for that session.
How to turn on OFF State Mode
- Tap your avatar in the top-right corner
- Tap OFF State Mode
- Everything will enlarge — text, buttons, touch targets
- Tap it again to return to normal size
💡 Tip: Use Simple Mode if you generally want a calmer, easier app. Use OFF State Mode for short moments when symptoms flare up. There's no wrong time to turn either one on.
