ADTD is pleased to announce an official partnership with Nicole Petrie, a social media influencer and AFTD volunteer who is also a care partner for her mother. Over the next six months Nicole is going to post videos to TikTok (@nicolepetrie) to raise awareness of FTD, and help both care partners and people diagnosed with FTD. Together, we will be focusing on the importance of an accurate and timely diagnosis, and supports available for families affected by FTD. Her first post — just in time for Food for Thought — featured this great recipe to promote brain health.
