Feb 2025 webinar

Parkinson Canada is happy to offer programs such as this webinar and the Every Victory Counts – Canadian edition manual at no cost to the Parkinson’s community thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors. Please visit parkinson.ca for more information, to get involved or to support Canadians affected by Parkinson’s by making a donation. 

During our February webinar, “Together We Thrive: The Power of Community,” members of the Parkinson’s community discussed how personal, community and professional connections positively impact their physical and mental health. Barbara Salsberg Mathews shared how her recent Tik Tok dance challenge, an illustrated book about what Parkinson’s feels like, and how developing a Parkinson’s-specific therapeutic mime program are helping the Parkinson’s community and bringing meaning to her own life with Parkinson’s.
