Description

The beliefs and perceptions that friends, family, employers and even strangers hold about Parkinson’s disease (PD) shape the experience of living with the disease. Facing misperceptions and stigma can cause isolation and worsen symptoms. Tune into audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar to listen to our panel of experts have a candid and compassionate conversation about times they’ve faced stigma, how they’ve navigated it and how they’re working to change misperceptions of Parkinson’s to improve life for everyone living with the disease.
