Parkinson’s and You
Information about Parkinson’s and how it affects your life.
- What is Parkinson’s?
  Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.
- Symptoms
  Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Treatments & Professional Support
  It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.
- Living with Parkinson’s
  One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.

Living Well - managing the Festive Season

Online session via Zoom (map)

Wed 16th Dec 2020, 12:00pm to 1:00pm (1 hour)

Join this one hour online conversation focussing on Parkinson’s and the Festive Season.

Arming yourself with the right tools and knowledge to manage your symptoms is key to living well with Parkinson’s.

Christmas is often a time we all look forward to, however there can be challenges in balancing Christmas activities and additional stresses it can bring.

This year, managing a COVID Christmas will add an extra layer of complication. This special Living Well session will provide tips and tricks for managing the festive season and how we can all keep it COVID safe.

Using the Zoom platform, you will join Fight Parkinson’s health professionals and others living with, or caring for, people with Parkinson’s, for this topic presentation, plus plenty of time for questions and answers.

Once you have registered your attendance, you will be emailed a Zoom link which will provide your access to the presentation.

Let us know if you have any specific questions you'd like answered prior to the webinar, or feel free to ask during the presentation.

Phone 1800 644 189 or email info@fightparkinsons.org.au for further information.

We look forward to you joining us.
