Find Your Voice with Loud Crowd
Find Your Voice with Loud Crowd: A Life-Changing Program for People Living with Parkinson’s Disease
Loud Crowd, a support group led by Lillian Phillips, M.S. CCC-SLP, is designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by Parkinson’s Disease (PD). This group aims to increase ‘Quality of Life’ in those affected by PD through the teaching of vocal techniques and compensatory strategies needed to “use your voice” in a clear, yet assertive, intentional and self-aware manner.
Loud Crowd is about so much more than voice exercises. It’s a chance to find fellowship with others who understand the unique challenges of Parkinson’s Disease. “Our differences are overshadowed by our shared experience, ” says Phillips.
What Loud Crowd Offers:
- Free education and guidance from a local Speech-Language Pathologist on voice, articulation, cognition, and swallowing.
- Exposure to the SPEAKOUT! Program, designed to enhance and maintain vocal volume, manipulation, and clarity.
- A supportive community of individuals who are living with Parkinson’s, prepared to celebrate your victories and support you in your times of need.
- Newfound communicative confidence
- Fellowship and fun, with an educational focus and maybe even a snack!
Loud Crowd welcomes individuals of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and PD severity levels. Participants often find solace in the program’s message: “I am living with Parkinson’s, but Parkinson’s is not living life for me.”
Join Loud Crowd every Tuesday at 4 PM in the DRH Health Foundation board room, located at 2465 Whisenant, Suite 300 in Duncan, OK. For more information or to sign up, contact Lillian Phillips at lillian.phillips@drhhealth.org
