When Parkinson’s shifts a parent’s mood, memory, or mobility, it can leave adult children feeling unsure of what’s normal, and what to do next. In this practical and encouraging session, Lianna Marie – author, speaker, and lifelong advocate who walked alongside her mom with PD for 30 years – translates the day-to-day realities of mood, mind, and movement changes into clear and compassionate strategies.
Lianna will provide real-world examples, checklists, simple tracking tools, and step-by-step plans that will:
- Show you how to spot patterns, respond in the moment, and communicate with clinicians.
- Adapt the home and routine to support safety, dignity, and independence.
- Help you plan to reduce conflict, prevent crises, and stay connected.
You will walk away from this important episode with information to help you provide confident and loving care as needs evolve. Register today and bring your questions for Lianna!
