Care Partner Conversations
Care Partner Conversations is a supportive webinar series led by care partners for care partners. Whether you're a spouse, family member, friend, or someone interested in learning more about the caregiving experience in Parkinson’s disease, this space is for you. Through candid, compassionate conversations, care partners share real-life strategies, helpful resources, and lessons learned along the way. Each session fosters connection, validation, and a deeper understanding of the caregiving journey—because you’re not alone.
