The Newly Diagnosed Educational Series
Navigating a formal Parkinson’s disease diagnosis can be overwhelming. For some, it can leave more questions than answers for what the future may look like. It’s important to know that you are not alone.
Under-standing and moving forward
This series, intended for people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the past two years, will increase participants’ knowledge about Parkinson’s disease and help them to connect with others who are at a similar stage in their Parkinson’s journey.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Facilitated by our Executive Director and PWR! Therapist, Bailey Martin, and our counsellor, Dr. Linda Franchi, this series will increase your knowledge about Parkinson's disease and help you connect with others who are at a similar stage in their Parkinson's journey.
Bailey and Dr. Franchi discuss symptoms and treatment, exercise prescription, emotional changes, and coming to terms with your Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Bailey and Dr. Franchi will also cover the importance of finding purpose and meaning after a Parkinson's diagnosis.
