Benjamin Franklin once quipped, “Leisure is the time for doing something useful,” and he was correct: engaging in purposeful and meaningful leisure activities contributes to overall wellness. People diagnosed with Parkinson’s and those in their care circle can experience many benefits from participating in physical, social, emotional and cognitive leisure activities that interest them.  

Join our webinar on Wednesday, February 21 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time as Recreation Therapist Kathy Park explains the importance of an active leisure lifestyle. She will highlight the benefits of physical, social, cognitive and emotional leisure involvement.

Kathy will also explain the importance of leisure resources within the home and community as we explore some hands-on activities. You might wish to follow along! If you are interested in participating, here are some items you’ll want to have on hand for the webinar:
