Dear John,

During our October 26 webinar, “Family Matters: Parkinson’s and Family Relationships,” Pascal Girard, Social Worker at McGill’s Movement Disorder Clinic, discussed the effect Parkinson’s may have on the relationships you have with those closest to you, and some approaches to consider when navigating these changes. We also heard from Rob Lebel, a Parkinson Canada Peer-to-Peer Program Mentor and person living with Parkinson’s, and his spouse, Angie, about how Parkinson’s has impacted relationships with those close to him and strategies they use to strengthen those bonds… because Family Matters.
