Parkinson’s Disease Story Exchange

Parkinson’s Disease Story Exchange (PDSE) is a media outlet project that revitalizes the social and societal stigma surrounding Parkinson’s disease. Doing so gives those directly and indirectly affected with Parkinson’s disease a platform to share their triumphs and wisdom, fueling awareness for the Parkinsonism community. Stories of anyone affected by Parkinson’s disease, including patients, caregivers, family members, clinicians, physical therapists, trainers, therapists and researchers are widespread with a mission to educate and amplify unheard voices. As Parkinson’s diagnoses become increasingly common throughout the U.S., PDSE aims to work on sharing more informational mediums to guide those diagnosed or unfamiliar with Parkinsonism no matter the life stage they are currently in. The Parkinson’s Disease Story Exchange shrinks the gap between the “what to know” and the “I don’t knows” in a tangible, easily- accessible, digestible audio-visual format.
