This webinar will focus on a few that may be less talked about including drooling, urinary incontinence, dyskinesia and even eating in public. We will discuss how each impacts the person with Parkinson’s and address ways to speak to family and friends about how these visible symptoms cause self-consciousness in social situations. ### Speaker **Taylor Rush, PhD** - Health Psychologist Director of Behavioral Services and Interdisciplinary Programs Center for Neurological Restoration Cleveland Clinic, A Parkinson's Foundation Center of Excellence There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. ## Contact Us [ ![Envelope icon](/themes/custom/parkinson/assets/images/envelope.svg) PDHealth@Parkinson.org ](mailto:PDHealth@Parkinson.org) [ ![Phone icon](/themes/custom/parkinson/assets/images//phone.svg) (305) 537-9168 ]() *We want to thank this webinar's sponsor, Merz, for supporting our mission.* ![MERZ Therapeutics logo](/sites/default/files/styles/400px_wide/public/images/merztherapeutics_logo.png?itok=eGYHfqzp) This is a virtual program, taking place live, using the online Zoom platform.
