The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, and we hear a lot about it. However, there are several types of dementia less likely to get the spotlight, but that still impact hundreds of thousands of individuals and their families. Join this webinar for an exploration of the lesser-known dementias. We'll navigate the complexities of Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Vascular Dementia, and Mixed Dementia. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and characteristics associated with each type, so you are empowered to enhance care and support for individuals affected by these various forms of dementia. Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your insights into the world of dementia beyond Alzheimer's.

- Review the definition of dementia.
- Understand the other types of dementia including Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, Vascular Dementia and Mixed Dementia.
- Learn the unique challenges and characteristics of each type of dementia.
