Webinars

This webinar will explain what Parkinson’s Disease is, how it is related to dementia, risk factors associated with Parkinson’s Disease, and strategies/support for people living with Parkinson’s Disease. It will introduce how to address these risk factors, as well as existing treatments.
The webinar will also explore a study at Baycrest in Toronto that is looking for participants. The study looks at how people living with dementia and their care partners access and use assistive technology products (e.g. reminder apps, safety devices).

Join us October 19 from 4:00–5:30 p.m. for a virtual Speaker Series with Dr. Amer Burhan, Co-Director of Research at the Toronto Memory Program and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

This webinar will explore issues that are specific to caregivers/care partners of people living with dementia. The importance of caregiver health will be discussed, as well as the breadth of resources that are available within the community. The webinar will also explore active research that is being conducted to better understand the needs of caregivers/care partners.
