In collaboration with the World Parkinson Coalition, Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) is launching the “Parkinson Ready” training program to promote informed care and increase awareness of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
This initiative is led by an individual with PD and a physiotherapist and aims to equip city workers and service professionals with a deeper understanding of PD, reducing prevalent misconceptions and stigma.
We need your help to make this program impactful. We are seeking members of the PD community who experience the following symptoms:
- Freezing of gait
- Facial masking
- Vocal issues
- Micrographia (small handwriting)
If you are willing to video yourself demonstrating these symptoms, your contribution will significantly foster greater empathy and understanding.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Shelly Yu.
