In this role\, she facilitates Light Clubs – virtual hangouts for those of all ages who have a parent with younger-onset dementia – and carepartner connection spaces for those who have – or had – a spouse/partner with younger-onset dementia. Jessica’s late mother was diagnosed with younger-onset dementia in 2014\, so she knows deeply how important it is to bring light to those who walk this journey\, and how much power and relief there is in connecting with others who understand. \nJessica Christensen\nFamily Care Partner \nJessica is 16 years old and in 10th grade.
