How Do You Feel with Parkinson’s? A Special Edition Webinar on Emotions

Whether you’ve just heard the words “You have Parkinson’s,” or it’s been a part of your life for decades, life with the disease comes with a vast range of emotions. From shock and grief to humor and optimism, the feelings that may arise during your journey are so expansive that a 60-minute conversation wouldn’t be able to cover them all. By popular demand, this Third Thursdays Webinar will be a 90-minute special edition with additional time and more panelists to cover many facets of this topic and answer more of your questions live. You’ll hear varied perspectives and tips from people living with Parkinson’s and a medical expert. Join this discussion as the panelists learn from each other about their emotional journeys and share what has helped them along the way.
