    ![Husband and wife lookin at a tablet while on their porch](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/wellness-wednesdays-event-banner-2026.png?itok=s2_h0Y4k)  Care Partner Conversations is a webinar series led by a panel of care partners who speak openly about a focused theme in the Parkinson’s caregiving experience. Our panelists share practical tools, personal stories, and the resources that have supported them along the way. Each session creates space for honest dialogue, connection, and validation—because caregiving is challenging, and no one should navigate it alone.
