Uncertainty affects all of us, especially during times of change, stress, health challenges, or major life transitions. In this practical presentation, national keynote and TEDx speaker Erin Mark shares simple, realistic tools for staying grounded and thinking more clearly during difficult or uncertain moments.

Using her CALM framework and personal stories of resilience, Erin explores how small mindset shifts, emotional awareness, and practical coping strategies can help people move through uncertainty without feeling overwhelmed by it. Participants will leave with easy-to-remember techniques they can use in everyday life to manage stress, adapt to change, and feel more steady during challenging seasons.

Speaker: Rose Lang – involved in the Parkinson Foundation outreach program to educate patients, caregivers, and health care professionals on the challenges of hospitalized Parkinson’s patients.

Already a delicate balance, Parkinson's disease (PD) symptom management can be even trickier in the hospital because:

• People often do not get enough movement opportunities.

• Parkinson’s medications may not be given following the at-home schedule.

• Medications that worsen PD are sometimes prescribed.

• PD medication doses are often delayed or missed.
