Navigating a Parent’s Younger Onset Dementia (with Jaelyn Smith)

At just 16 years old, Jaelyn Smith, a daughter and advocate, has been a pillar of support for her mom and dad, demonstrating incredible maturity and strength as she helps her dad manage the challenges of younger onset dementia. This journey, while deeply rewarding, also brings unique challenges and emotional struggles that many young caregivers face. She was able to find support through an online network that has given her the opportunity to shine a light on her dad’s disease and make connections across the country with other youth caregivers.
