October is Lewy Body Dementia Awareness Month

Understanding Changes Everything

One moment of understanding can change lives. This October, join us in moving beyond awareness toward real understanding of Lewy body dementia.

Why Understanding Matters

Lewy body dementia (LBD) affects approximately 1.4 million people in the United States and remains one of the most misdiagnosed forms of dementia. LBD is more than memory loss: it affects thinking, movement, sleep, mood, behavior, and automatic body functions. Its impact reaches far beyond the person diagnosed, touching care partners, families and friends.

That is why understanding matters. It can mean:

  • An earlier, more accurate diagnosis
  • A conversation that finally makes sense
  • Answers that help guide care and planning
  • A connection that meets you wherever you are in your journey

Happening This October

Join us all month long for webinars, conferences, community events, and more. Save the dates and register early, because space for some events is limited.
