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.

Physical discomfort, stiffness, and fatigue are often part of the Parkinson’s experience. This session offers mindful approaches for relating differently to discomfort—learning to soften resistance, steady the mind, and discover peace even when ease feels out of reach. A guided meditation will support you in meeting the body with patience and care.
