Parkinson’s can make it harder to stay connected—affecting how you communicate, how you experience touch, and how comfortable you feel both giving and receiving it.
These changes can put strain on relationships and may require more intention to maintain closeness and keep the spark alive in all kinds of connections. On Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 12 pm MT, join our June Live Well Today webinar featuring Dr. Kelly Rees, a therapist and board-certified sexologist. Dr. Rees will explore these challenges and more, sharing practical, compassionate guidance for maintaining emotional and physical connection throughout life with Parkinson’s.
We’ll also reserve time for your questions. If you’d like Dr. Rees to address a specific topic, submit it in advance using this form or email [email protected].
