Understanding Alzheimers
Free Program for Youth and Teens
Caring for a loved one suffering from Alzheimers Disease (AD) is stressful on adults. There is much to be understood about how AD changes a person’s brain and the symptoms associated with the disease. Now imagine how these changes affect younger persons when AD strikes someone in their lives. This program is provided to help young people understand the stages of AD and ways in which they can communicate with their loved ones and strengthen connections. The program goal is to build empathy, reduce fear, and help youth to effectively transition into the new reality of a loved one with Alzheimers Disease.
