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 people affected by Parkinson’s across Canada by making a donation.
During our March webinar, “Women & Parkinson’s: Strategies and Stories,” Dr. Indu Subramanian discussed the unique symptoms experienced by women with Parkinson’s, how gender roles may impact care and support, and shared fifteen things that women need to know about Parkinson's. Li Jiang and Sylvie Parent also joined us to talk about the challenges they face as women living with Parkinson’s, and the strength they’ve found within themselves and in the Parkinson’s community.
