August 2021 Caregiver Webinars and other Virtual Events

August 2, 2021 By Parkinson's Community Help

Every month, Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach produces a list of caregiving-related webinars and virtual events. Most of the webinars listed are for a general audience and are free.  

Again, this month there are less than ten caregiver webinars on our list, even in the age of Zoom.  So, take a quick look!  There’s one more opportunity to view the Robin Williams documentary, SPARK, at the end of the month and one webinar is focused on the issues of working younger people in a ‘sandwich’ situation caring for both children in school and parents. 

We encourage you to register for any of these events you are interested in.  That way, if you aren’t able to attend the live event, you will be alerted when the recording is available.

About the list below, unless indicated, all webinars and virtual events are:

  • Times listed as PT.  (We are based in California, after all.)
  • One-hour in duration.  (Commonly the speaker talks for 30-40 minutes and there’s a question-and-answer session for the remaining time.)
  • If there is no speaker indicated, the speaker is unknown at the time of this email.
  • For a general audience.Not focused on a single medication.  (Those are excluded.)
  • Free.
  • Usually posted to the host website or YouTube channel in about a week.

Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day!
