Stanford Psychologist to Discuss Unseen Challenges of Living with PD at Menlo Park Support Group, January 9, 2-3:30pm

January 2, 2019 By Parkinson's Community Help

Blake K. Scanlon, PhD, director of training and education at the Stanford/VA Alzheimer’s Center will discuss unseen challenges of living with Parkinson’s Disease — for those with PD, caregivers, family, and friends.  The PD support group meeting is on Wednesday, January 9th, at Little House in Menlo Park, starting at 2pm.  The meeting is open to the public.


Dr. Scanlon, PhD, psychologist, is a clinical assistant professor at the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.  And he is the co-director of the Stanford/VA California Alzheimer’s Disease Center.  He focuses on improving the management of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s.

Given this research focus, Dr. Scanlon will share with group members the unseen psychological and emotional challenges of living with Parkinson’s.  These challenges are faced by those with a PD diagnosis, caregivers, family members, and friends.  We think you will find the talk very interesting.
