Please watch and learn from those in the field who are, and support children and adolescents with parents who have #YOD
Recent research has found that 52% of participants with young onset dementia (YOD) had children living with them but only 12% received appropriate support. Watch this webinar from ADNeT's YOD-SIG group on how we can change this statistic➡️ buff.ly/3P49Akt @ypinh #dementia
