Join us for our first webinar of the year to hear about Christine’s experiences of being a care partner and how she was able to support herself and Bruce as the condition progressed.
Throughout the webinar Christine will discuss with us some of the challenges care partners face and ways these challenges can be mastered.
This is also an opportunity for care partners to share their challenges and how they master them.
If you have any questions, challenges or comments about caring for a person with Parkinson’s email us at communications@parkinsons.org.nz.
Christine will share these anonymously during the webinar.
