Navigating Change and Loss in Parkinson's Disease
Wellness Wednesdays: Mental Wellness Series
A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is life-changing. Coming to terms with a Parkinson's diagnosis is often the first of many changes a person who lives with the disease will have to navigate. Building a support network and developing healthy coping strategies can help you and your loved ones steer your own journey.
Join us to learn how others meet PD challenges and discover ways to navigate change during this virtual round-table conversation - the first in a series of candid mental wellness discussions.
Check out the accompanying blog article for tips for navigating PD-related changes.
