What is PD SELF? A national program of the ProjectSpark Foundation that provides recently diagnosed people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with an in-depth understanding of the disease and the self-efficacy tools to manage it with confidence.

Assessments show quality of life improvement for both individuals with PD and care partners.
