Together We Thrive: The Power of Community

Want to thrive while living with Parkinson’s? Journeying with others can help you feel engaged with loved ones and the broader Parkinson’s community, reduce feelings of stigma, and improve mental and physical health. It can also help you be better informed and a more engaged participant in your own healthcare decisions and plans. Join us and empower yourself to start expanding your own circle of support.

During our webinar on Wednesday, February 19 from 2:00 to 3:10 PM Eastern Time, members of the Parkinson’s community will be featured as they discuss how making connections – personal, community and professional – have positively impacted their own physical and mental wellbeing. We will also hear from Barbara Salsberg Mathews who will discuss how her recent endeavours – a viral Tik Tok dance challenge, a book about what Parkinson’s feels like showcasing her art, and using mime as a therapeutic tool to help others living with Parkinson’s better manage their symptoms – are helping to build community and bring meaning to her own life with Parkinson’s.
