Veterans and Parkinson's: Mental Wellness
This program will bring awareness to the symptoms that are often unspoken among veterans with Parkinson’s. We will address the real impact of loneliness and isolation, offer strategies for managing post-traumatic stress disorder, and provide guidance on overcoming fears associated with symptoms. Explore resources and support options designed to relieve isolation and nurture meaningful connections.
