🌍 Today marks the beginning of World FTD Awareness Week – a global call to #endFTD. The theme for today is self-care. Whether you're a caregiver, someone with a genetic link to FTD, or directly impacted by it, prioritizing your well-being matters. Here's how you can join in:
1️⃣ Start with a small act of self-care today. Meet up with a friend, take a stroll, relish a favorite spot, or indulge in a good book or some treasured music. Dedicate a few moments to caring for yourself.
2️⃣ Share your self-care journey on social media and inspire others to do the same. Visit this link for messaging and graphics you can share: bit.ly/3PNSsAE
3️⃣ Show your support by changing your profile picture on social media. Follow our simple instructions at the link above.
Our director @ESantarnecchi had a blast (😉) visiting NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX last week to discuss #brainhealth in space, cognitive enhancement and neuroscience-inspired A.I. applications. More to come soon! 🚀🧠#AI #NASA #Space
Thank you to @AFTDHope for the opportunity to attend your 2023 Education Conference! @ESantarnecchi joined other experts in the field to discuss all the exciting ways that #FTDresearch is progressing!

What is FTD?
👉 It's the most common form of dementia for people under 60. FTD is caused by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain. For information on FTD subtypes, please click here: bit.ly/3OSkA5A
