Join Indianapolis area women, living with PD, for a day of community, education, and discussion about Pelvic Floor Health and Intimacy. Due to the goal of creating an empowering and open environment for discussion, we respectfully request only women with Parkinson’s attend this event. However, If you are a caregiver who is a woman, please know you are also welcome. Even though this program is focused on Women Living with PD, we believe it can also be beneficial for women in general. *\*Please note, if a male partner/spouse/friend needs to be present as a support for their loved one, we will have a designated area in the lounge (near the event room) where they can enjoy some community time on their own with complimentary refreshments and food.* ### Speakers **Lauren Habig, PT, DPT** IU Health **Mary-Margaret Sweeney, LCSW, CST** Seek and Summon Private Practice There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. - ### Agenda (Eastern Time) - 10 a.m. **Check-In / Breakfast / Resource Fair** - 10:45 a.m. **Parkinson's Foundation Welcome** *Jessica Bartsch,* Parkinson’s Foundation - 11 a.m. **Pelvic Floor Health** *Lauren Habig, PT, DPT,* IU Health - 11:55 a.m. **Resource Fair Member Introductions** - 12:20 p.m. *Resource Fair Break, Visit Vendors* - 12:35 p.m. *Lunch / Social Time* - 1:30 p.m. **Intimacy and PD: Part 1** *Mary-Margaret Sweeney, LCSW, CST,* Seek and Summon Private Practice - 2:20 p.m. *Resource Fair Break* - 2:40 p.m. **Intimacy and PD: Part 2** *Mary-Margaret Sweeney, LCSW, CST,* Seek and Summon Private Practice - 3:30 p.m. **Closing Comments / Thank You** *Jessica Bartsch,* Parkinson’s Foundation ## Contact Us Jessica Bartsch [ ![Envelope icon](/themes/custom/parkinson/assets/images/envelope.svg) JBartsch@Parkinson.org ](mailto:JBartsch@Parkinson.org) [ ![Phone icon](/themes/custom/parkinson/assets/images//phone.svg) (312) 762-5706 ]() *The Parkinson's Foundation is grateful for the unwavering support of our Program Sponsors.
