October 2020 Webinars about Caregiving

October 2, 2020 By Parkinson's Community Help

Every month, Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach produces a list of caregiving-related webinars.  Very few of these are specific to Parkinson’s Disease.  Here’s our list of caregiving webinars in October 2020.  You can participate in a web-based seminar (or webinar) from the privacy of your home.  Join either live or view the archived version within a few days of the live webinar (in most cases).  The webinars listed are free. 

Several webinars are happening soon so we encourage you to register right away if you are interested in viewing the live webcast.  If you cannot attend a webinar live, it’s best to register for it so that you are notified when the recording is available.  

If you have any questions, please contact the host organization directly.

Here are webinars that may be of interest to caregivers in October 2020:  (all times shown are Pacific Time)


Saturday, October 3, 10am-noon

“Caregivers Count Conference – Reducing Stress & Dealing with Parents and Resistance” 

Program: The first topic to be addressed is caregiver stress.  In this interactive workshop, we’ll discuss ways that caregivers can change their reactions to caregiving’s challenges if they can’t change caregiving’s arduous circumstances. We’ll practice breathing exercises, visualization, the five Senses and other forms of mindfulness that caregivers can easily learn and incorporate into their daily routines to better manage stress. 

Another topic is dealing with parents and resistance. Are you worried about how your aging parents are doing now that one or both of them have physical challenges or chronic illnesses? They say they are doing fine and that you shouldn’t worry. But you do worry. Come and learn techniques in overcoming resistance to accepting help 

Presenters:  Dr. Barry Jacobs and Alex Morris 

Hosted by Aging Services Collaborative of Santa Clara County and Family Caregiver Alliance

“Fall Prevention” 

Program: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three adults older than age 65 falls each year. As people age, they experience natural aging effects such as stiff joints, poor eyesight and decreased muscle strength, as well as poor balance. Aging, along with chronic conditions (such as PD), can increase the risk of falling.  Learn the signs that an older adult may be at risk for falling and simple, practical solutions on how to reduce the risk of falls in the home

“This Is How People Die” 

Program: For many, death is scary and difficult to discuss. We bring our fears, our childhood experiences with death, our culture, our belief systems and our stereotypes to the bedside of the dying. Generally, none of those ideas accurately explain how people die. This webinar will analyze the fear of death as it relates to our social norms, identify signs of approaching death from disease and explain the process of dying from disease vs. dying by happenstance. 

Presenter: Barbara Karnes, RN, former director of Olathe Hospital Hospice and Home Health Program, author
