Parkinson’s disease can impact emotional well-being through both motor and non-motor symptoms. Caregivers also face unique stressors that can affect their mental health. Mindfulness practice offers tools to build self-awareness and manage stress effectively.

This is a six-week online program designed for individuals living with or affected by Parkinson’s. Through guided mindfulness sessions and group discussions, participants will:

• Explore and practice mindfulness fundamentals
• Learn to stay present and cultivate awareness without judgment
• Develop self-awareness to support emotional well-being
• Engage in self-compassion and gratitude
• Discover practical ways to integrate mindfulness into daily life
