Compassion allows us to meet our challenges with courage and tenderness. This session explores how mindfulness can expand our capacity for self-compassion and deepen empathy for others walking the Parkinson’s path. Through reflection and guided meditation, we’ll discover compassion as a source of strength and connection.

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.

Parkinson's research depends on people living with the disease and their care partners. But what does research participation actually look like, and how do you find opportunities that are right for you?
Join us for a practical conversation about the many ways people can contribute to Parkinson's research, from observational studies and genetic research to clinical trials. Learn how researchers use information such as genetics, biomarkers, and lived experiences to drive discoveries and advance precision medicine. We'll also discuss what participation involves, how eligibility works, and how to find research opportunities that match your interests, goals, and circumstances.
Whether you're simply curious about research or ready to get involved, this webinar will help demystify the process and empower you to take the next step.

Mientras los investigadores trabajan para desarrollar mejores tratamientos para la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), comprender las diferencias biológicas que pueden influir en la enfermedad puede ayudar a descubrir nuevas posibilidades de atención. Los genes modificadores son un área de investigación que puede aportar pistas importantes sobre cómo se desarrolla la EP y cómo los tratamientos futuros podrían adaptarse a cada persona.
En esta sesión se explicará qué son los genes modificadores y qué están aprendiendo los investigadores sobre su papel en la enfermedad de Parkinson. Conozca cómo esta investigación puede ayudar a los científicos a identificar posibles objetivos para nuevos tratamientos y a comprender mejor el potencial de enfoques más personalizados para la atención del Parkinson.

As poet Maya Angelou once said, forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.” Forgiveness can release tension and open the heart to healing—especially when facing the changes Parkinson’s brings. This session offers a gentle, step-by-step mindfulness practice for forgiveness, helping to soften self-blame and resentment, and make room for acceptance and peace.
