Support for Families with Kids and Teens

As FTD progresses, it creates ever-changing obstacles and unique challenges for families to manage. Meanwhile, children grow and change. What your kids can understand about FTD, and what it will mean for their lives will evolve over the years.

Children and teens can become resilient and confident adults despite—and often as a result of—adversity. Your strength will help your children feel safe and will show them how people who love each other help one another in tough times. No one welcomes the changes that FTD brings. Yet hidden within the loss is the potential for unexpected positive growth.
