NPF Caregiver Summit 2016: Tools For Family Caregivers: Caremap and Caring & Coping

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to taking care of someone with Parkinson’s; it is a journey. NPF’s CareMAP, www.caremap.parkinson.org, includes 40 how-to videos and caregiver stories to provide both practical and personal tips for coping with the complex problems that arise as a result of PD. The complementary workbook, Caring and Coping, will help prepare you for every step of the journey. Order your free copy at www.parkinson.org/books. In this video, Vaughn Edelson explains the origins of these resources and the National Parkinson Foundation’s process of integrated mission delivery: insights from NPF’s research and direct interaction with people affected by Parkinson’s inform all programs and resources.
