Supporting Youth With A Parent Who Is Living Younger‐Onset Alzheimer’s: A Crucial Component In Integrated Care

Supporting Youth With A Parent Who Is Living Younger‐Onset Alzheimer's: A Crucial Component In Integrated Care Lorenzo's House, a nonprofit in Chicago, focuses on a transformative approach that supports children and young adults who are living with a parent with younger‐onset Alzheimer's. Youth are often affected by a parent's diagnosis at a neurobiologically vulnerable time in their lives. Youth frequently don't know how to explain their experience as a care partner with their peers, leaving them isolated and managing the ongoing change by themselves. By creating spaces specifically catered towards these young care partners, we are radically shifting the journey of what younger‐onset Alzheimer's looks like for children and young adults.
