Care Partner Conversations
|
Led by care partners, these webinars will bring together spouses, partners, family members, and friends who provide care—or anyone interested in learning more about caregiving and Parkinson’s disease. These dynamic and engaging conversations will foster shared experiences, offer valuable strategies, and provide a space for support and connection. |
While this webinar is designed for care partners, we welcome those living with Parkinson's disease to join us. Please note that the focus of this program is on supporting those who identify as care partners.
