Living with Parkinson’s means adjusting to changes—some expected, others surprising—that can affect everything from sleep and fatigue to nutrition, thinking, exercise, and social connection. In this open conversation, Dr. Sneha Mantri and a guest expert invite you to bring your questions about the daily realities of Parkinson’s and the choices that can help you live well.

Your questions will guide the dialogue as our experts share trusted insights, resources, and practical strategies to help you stay engaged, balanced, and proactive—no matter where you are on your Parkinson’s journey.

Bring your curiosity—and your coffee (or tea!)—for a conversation about the everyday ways to live well with Parkinson’s.

La comunicación puede cambiar de muchas maneras después de un diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Parkinson, no solo por los síntomas físicos, sino también por las emociones que pueden surgir al vivir con la EP. En este webinar, exploraremos situaciones comunes que pueden surgir entre las personas con la EP, sus cuidadores y sus familiares. Mediante estudios de casos de la vida real y la participación de la audiencia, hablaremos sobre cómo emociones como la frustración, el miedo, la vergüenza y el estrés pueden influir en la manera en que nos comunicamos. También compartiremos estrategias prácticas para abordar conversaciones difíciles con mayor empatía, apertura y comprensión.
