How can I show up for my partner with Parkinson’s disease (PD)? How can I best support my parent with PD from afar? How can my loved one and I work together to make decisions as symptoms change?
Our community has many questions about how to best support a loved one with Parkinson’s disease. Tune in to audio from this month’s Third Thursdays Webinar to hear our panel of experts — including care partners, a person living with PD, a social worker and a psychologist — discuss strategies for effective communication and shared decision-making to keep a partnership strong through Parkinson’s.
