Family #caregivers were seen, heard and empowered on Dec. 16 at Camarillo Health Care District's inaugural Family Caregiver Symposium: "The Power of Care." The event was designed to uplift, educate, and empower the family caregivers who dedicate their time, energy and love to supporting others. Brenda Birdwell of Coast Caregiver Resource Center was the keynote speaker, talking about compassion fatigue, post-traumatic caregiving and ambiguous loss. A caregiver panel featured Janice Aharon-Ezer of Community Memorial Healthcare Caregiver Navigation Program, Michelle Rios of Coast Caregiver Resource Center and Jordana Lawrence of the Alzheimer's Association. Dani Klein Modisett, founder of Laughter on Call," was a special presenter, sharing "Finding Humor in the Everyday." The event also included virtual reality meditation and a caregiver skills lab. #camarillo #venturacounty

Falls are a threat to the health of older adults and can reduce their ability to remain independent. The CDC reports that 1 in 4 adults age 65+ fall every year, resulting in 3 million admissions to ER. Falls are the No. 1 cause of injury and death from injury among older adults. Our BALANCEfit and SMARTfit programs aim to reduce your risk of falling. Call 805-388-1952 to join our interest list and sign up! Learn more at https://t.co/MmG7wPGgjJ

While everyone feels sad from time to time — and while people with PD may experience grief in reaction to a PD diagnosis — depression is different.

Depression can be a part of Parkinson's itself, resulting from PD-related changes in brain chemistry. Treating depression is one of the most significant ways to improve quality of life in Parkinson’s.
