Talking about hallucinations or delusions can be uncomfortable. Families may feel unsure, embarrassed, or afraid of saying the wrong thing. But open communication helps everyone feel safer and more supported.

The More to Parkinson’s Family Conversation Guide walks families through how to:
• Talk calmly and without judgment
• Share concerns without blame
• Create a safer home environment
• Build a plan for what to do if symptoms escalate
• Prepare for doctor appointments using a checklist

NCF is committed to sharing educational tools that help families feel informed, empowered, and connected.
