Support Groups for Frontotemporal Dementia
UCSF FTD Caregiver Support Group
The UCSF Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Support Group is designed to provide support and education to the families of people with FTD and related neurodegenerative diseases (such as progressive nuclear palsy or corticobasal degeneration). This support group specifically addresses the needs of FTD caregivers whose concerns are often different than those of Alzheimer's disease caregivers. The format is informal with open discussion, as well as occasional speakers. Caregivers and family members of UCSF and non-UCSF FTD patients are invited to attend. The support group is free and no reservations are needed to attend.
