REGISTER HERE for the June Wellness Webcast: How Does Art Benefit People with Parkinson’s?
It’s known that art therapy can improve one’s mood by creating a sense of community and aid in communication and self-expression. Join us on Wednesday, June 11, 12-1pm PT/3-4pm ET with Art Therapist, Marygrace Berberian, LCSW. Research is showing that art therapy can do more to benefit Parkinson’s disease by improving overall visual-cognitive skills, visual exploration strategies, and general motor functions.
