Webinars
As there are so many important areas to discuss under the Young Onset Parkinson’s umbrella, we thought it would be helpful to discuss in more detail, a different topic every month through a series of webinars. With guest speakers and the opportunity for an open discussion with all those participating, we hope these webinars will be both insightful and supportive and most of you allow you to connect with others living with YOPD.
