Robyn Murrell founded the Parkinson Wellness Centre, which recently opened in Sapperton and provides a variety of services for people living with Parkinson’s disease and their families. The centre is celebrating its grand opening on Oct. 21.

Family and friends of folks with Parkinson’s disease are invited to attend a free workshop at the Parkinson Wellness Centre.

The free interactive workshop – Caring for People with Parkinson’s: We’re all in this Together – will share tools and resources for family and friends who are caring for people with Parkinson’s. People will learn valuable information, tips and tricks such as dealing with stress and unexpected changes, enlisting the help of your family, friends and community organizations and finding balance, self-care and more.

The workshop, which includes light refreshments, is on Thursday, June 28 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at #103 - 450 East Columbia St. It’s being presented by Lycia Rodrigues, caregiver support and engagement lead at Family Caregivers of B.C.
