Parkinson's Journey   |   ipmdc.org/parkinsons_journey

with Josefa Domingos and John Dean

Patient & Care Partner’s different views of the same daily task:  “I’m Fine” vs “You Need Help”

It is common for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners to view daily abilities differently. Join us for a practical talk on why these differences happen, how movement symptoms, stress, and mood can shape each person’s perspective, and how to recognize and manage these mismatches in everyday life.

Michelle Viggiano with AIM Human Performance will visit us to share her news about Parkinson-friendly hikes in the great outodoors!

Improv is fun! "Yes And . . ." can help with communication, cognitive flexibility, mood, and social connection. Come join us! No experience needed!

This program offered in partnership with Resonance Improv Alliance and Insight Fairfax.
