Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) Symposium
About this Event
Lewy Body Dementia Symposium: Grounded in Lived Experience
Join us for an inspiring afternoon of education, connection, and hope.
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is one of the most misunderstood and under-recognized forms of dementia, affecting not only those living with the disease but also the families, caregivers, and professionals who walk alongside them.
This symposium brings together people with lived experience, healthcare professionals, community organizations, researchers, and advocates for an afternoon dedicated to learning, collaboration, and meaningful conversation.
What to Expect
- Special screening of the award-winning documentary Facing the Wind
- Expert panel and Q&A featuring healthcare professionals and individuals with lived experience
- Practical information about Lewy body dementia, current care approaches, and available supports
- Opportunities to connect with caregivers, families, clinicians, and community organizations
- Networking and resource sharing in a welcoming, supportive environment
Whether you are living with Lewy body dementia, caring for someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply wanting to learn more, you are welcome.
Together, we can build greater awareness, strengthen community connections, and improve the journey for everyone impacted by Lewy body dementia.
