In this live interview, Youngtimers volunteer Susan Hiatt interviews professor and author Dr. Bonnie Hennig-Trestman about talking to children about familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Drawing on decades of experience studying families with Huntington’s Disease, Dr. Hennig-Trestman shares age-appropriate strategies, communication tips, and emotional support techniques to help families foster trust.
Estate planning attorney Kurt Walberg walks families through essential estate planning steps that can bring peace of mind when navigating life with familial Alzheimer's disease FAD. From medical powers of attorney to wills and trusts, this talk covers the tools you need to ensure your wishes are honored — even in the face of uncertainty.
During the fall of 2023, Dr. Cynthia Wilcox joined us for a 3-part Workshop Series on the topic of Mental Health. The experiential workshops focused on skills for the FAD journey, including how to process overwhelming thoughts and emotions, strategies and skills for caring for our own physical and emotional wellbeing, and learning how to make room for beauty and joy in addition to sorrow.
