Each session in the series will be followed by an interactive 10-minute Q&A session. We encourage attendees to come prepared with questions, either posed during the online sessions or emailed in advance to our workshop moderator, Kelly Felgenhauer. She will make sure your queries find their way to the experts ensuring you leave the workshop with valuable insights and a sense of empowerment as you navigate your Parkinson's journey.

We welcome all carepartners/family caregivers as well as their loved one living with Parkinson's disease (PD) to attend this series as they may benefit from learning more about the caregiving role.
