MIND MATTERS:
A Series on Mental Health & Parkinson's
Brought to you by the UT Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute's Total Care Program,
in partnership with DFW Parkinson's Resource
Through three interactive sessions, we’ll tackle difficult but important topics — from grief and apathy to loneliness, stigma, and resilience.
Each session, led by Dr. Bradley McDaniels (Associate Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation and Health Services at the University of North Texas and DFW Parkinson’s Resource Board of Directors), will combine expert insight, real-world tools, and engaging workshops to help participants reflect, connect, and grow.
Resources and practical toolkits will be available after each session to support ongoing learning and care.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
Practical tools and worksheets for PwP and care partners
Guided workshops to process and practice new skills
Access to resources on the DPR website
Connection with experts and the Parkinson’s community
(In-Person at the Total Care Annual Symposium)
Thriving Together:
Family-Centered Care in Parkinson's
Dr. Bradley McDaniels is an Associate Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation and Health Services at the University of North Texas and serves on the DFW Parkinson's Resource Board of Directors. Prior to joining UNT, Brad accepted an Advanced Rehabilitation Research and Training Post-Doctoral Fellowship appointment, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease, in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Virginia Commonwealth University. Brad’s interest in PD stems from his mother’s diagnosis nearly 11 years ago. Brad’s research interests include psychosocial adaptation, quality of life, meaning in life, and mental health issues in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Not all Parkinson's symptoms are visible.
Some are emotional. Some are confusing. Some are rarely talked about.
Parkinson’s can bring grief, apathy, and emotional changes that don’t always have clear language or support.
That's why we are partnering with the UT Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute Total Care Program to present Mind Matters: A Series on Mental Health and Parkinson's.
