This Study Guide has been prepared for Support Groups, Classes and Individual Study, so that people can learn more about how they can help people who have dementias and Alzheimer's Disease. These diseases have a major impact with 5.2 million people who have Alzheimer's Disease and 250,000 who have some form of Frontetemporal Dementia. This does not even account for all of the families and friends who are dealing with many loved ones who have these diseases.My hope is that people will gain the knowledge that will help them be able to help others in the midst of their heartache. Sometimes just being there, listening and being sensitive to their needs is one of the best ways to be involved.
