December 2022 – Caregiver Webinars and other Virtual Events Stanford PD Community Blog

Every month, Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach produces a list of Parkinson’s-related webinars and virtual meetings with speakers. Here’s our December 2022 list.

What’s the difference between a webinar and a virtual meeting? A “webinar” has a handful of speakers at most, and attendees have both audio and video muted. A “virtual meeting” usually allows attendees to be seen and heard.

We recommend you register NOW for anything of interest. That way, if there’s a recording, as a registrant you’ll receive an email alerting you to the recording availability. Also, note that a few webinars have registration deadlines well in advance of the webinar dates.

Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach will try to attend as many of these events as possible and share our notes. Our notes about PD webinars are often posted here to our blog. We email our notes to the “Stanford PD Info” and “PD Caregivers” email lists, depending on the relevance to those audiences.

We publish to our blog an additional caregiver-specific webinar and virtual event list, which is sent to those on our “PD Caregivers” list. That list includes some events not included here since those events are for caregivers only.

If you are a caregiver to someone with PD, we encourage you to be added to our “PD Caregivers” email list.

Unless indicated, the webinar and virtual meetings listed below are:

Times listed as PT. (We are based in California, after all.)
One-hour in duration. We suggest you join five minutes before the official start-time. (Usually, the speaker talks for 30-40 minutes and there’s a question-and-answer session for the remaining time.)
For a general audience. (Again, caregiver-specific events are on our other list.)
Not focused on a single medication or single, branded treatment. (Those are excluded.)
Free.

After that long preamble, here’s our list of PD-related webinars and virtual meetings in December 2022…

Coping with Emotions of Caregiving

Note: This webinar is NOT specific to PD.

Description:

Caring for others is filled with many mixed and varied emotions such as feelings of love, loss, anger, affection, sadness, frustration, and guilt. It’s not uncommon for family caregivers to feel lonely and isolated. Caregivers often experience a higher rate of stress, anxiety, and depression than those who aren’t caregivers. We will share these emotions and learn about ways to help cope and manage difficult emotions.
