TAVIETM in motion is a support intervention developed with people living with Parkinson’s disease and care partners by researchers from the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CR-CHUM).
In a series of sessions, a nurse as well as people living with the disease and care partners are depicted as animated characters and offer support by informing, guiding and especially preparing you to handle the challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease.

TAVIETM in motion is the product of several years of clinical and research work focused on making your life easier. It includes 11 sessions to watch with a partner (spouses, parent/child, friends) or alone at a time of your choosing.
Over the 11 sessions, you will have access to more than:
The fact sheets summarize strategies for preserving your health, improving communication with the people around you, asking for help successfully, managing stress, learning about tax measures to which you might be entitled, and more. Levels of care through the disease’s progression and legal considerations are also discussed.
The Resource Guide helps you find services adapted to your evolving situation. It contains a directory of specific resources to meet the needs of people living with Parkinson’s disease and care partners.
These documents are integrated into different sessions. To access them, simply click on the name of the guide or fact sheet that appears at the bottom of the video.
We encourage you to watch the sessions and consult the Fact Sheets and Resource Guide. You can then implement various strategies and tips. We’d also love to hear your tips and strategies to benefit the entire community living with Parkinson’s disease!
Over the first seven sessions, you will learn and draw on foundational strategies to help you face changes in your daily life related to Parkinson’s disease.
Sessions 8 to 11 are designed to address specific needs related to key moments in Parkinson’s disease, for example, coping with the diagnosis, facing unexpected events, handling challenges related to the progression of the disease and lastly taking care of care partners.
To address the specific needs of the community living with Parkinson’s, we have developed and made available four new sessions.
Sessions 8 to 11 cover themes to help empower you after a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Reliable information, adapted resources and varied strategies are presented to support you and help you handle challenges related to the progression of the disease while caring for the person living with Parkinson’s and care partners.
