Both Sides Now: The Role of Communication and Connection in Parkinson’s Disease

2026 Thrive Together Summit: Northern Colorado

Live Well with Parkinson’s: Mind, Communication & Care

This highly-engaging workshop will discuss how communication breakdowns in families impacted by Parkinson’s are not a sign of failure, lack of effort, love, or intelligence, but rather a by-product of navigating a changing brain and a changing relationship for both the caregiver and the person living with Parkinson’s Disease.
Come learn about the communication breakdowns and resulting behaviors that commonly occur from the perspective of the caregiver and from the person with Parkinson’s, and leave with some practical strategies to improve your communication, reduce relationship stress, let go of blame, and shift from “fixing” to connecting.
