Community Event - Windsor/Leamington - Online event to raise awareness of rare dementias
This event aims to raise awareness of rare forms of dementia (e.g. frontotemporal dementia, posterior cortical atrophy, primary progressive aphasia) which occur in about a quarter of people living with dementia. These forms of dementia are normally young in onset (under 65 years old). A rare dementia diagnosis brings with it a set of unique and complex challenges, yet there is a widespread lack of understanding and a shortage of dedicated resources to support people affected by these conditions. This event also contributes to conversations around building on our current strengths to innovate various forms of support for people living with dementia and their families. This event is offered free and will be of interest to people living with dementia, family care partners, health and social care practitioners, students and researchers.
