National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) Webinar: Younger Onset Alzheimer's Disease...

The American Society of Aging will present a webinar on Oct. 29 centered around younger onset Alzheimer's disease and how it affects people ages 65 or younger. Though the exact number of people with younger onset is not known, the impact of living with the disease in midlife is great. For over a decade, the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago has offered Without Warning, a large support program for families living with younger onset Alzheimer's disease. Tuesday's web seminar will examine the emotional journey of younger onset Alzheimer's disease and the importance of community in providing support. Participants will be able to: list four ways younger onset Alzheimer's disease differs from later onset; identify three common emotions in living with younger onset Alzheimer's disease; recognize four common changes to relationships for people living with younger onset Alzheimer's disease; and, finally, list four ways to encourage community for people living with younger onset Alzheimer's disease.
