Care Givers

One of the biggest challenges caregivers face is the struggle to maintain one’s health and well-being while assisting in the care of their loved one diagnosed with PD. The Parkinson’s Research and Education Foundation provides Partners in Parkinson’s support group classes for patients with our licensed clinical social worker. Partners in Parkinson’s is a monthly form for caregivers to discuss emotional issues encountered with PD and strategies to help cope with the disease process. Spending time with others that are struggling with similar issues helps to alleviate stress while promoting support and education.
