This program, directed by Dr. Jennifer G.

The program will consist of 4 virtual sessions where we will explore several topics related to mental health and share tools, tips, and resources in an interactive and engaging format.

*Sessions will also be recorded and available to watch on-demand for registered participants. This program aims to:
Improve the quality of life and self-efficacy, decrease caregiver burden, and empower both people with PD and their care partners regarding mental health topics. This program also includes an optional research part that will involve filling out online surveys, including PD-related and caregiver-related scales measuring quality of life.
