CT Frontotemporal Dementia Foundation
Promoting research, support, education and advocacy
About Us
The foundation was established to honor Kevin Harvey by his wife Esther and children Meghan and Jim Roscoe, Keith and Vanessa Harvey, and Shannon and Nick Macca. Kevin was diagnosed with FTD in 2007 and passed away in 2012 at the age of 57. To honor Kevin's memory with dignity and respect, we've made it our mission to help those who unfortunately are impacted by this devastating and debilitating disease. To accomplish this mission, we established The CT Frontotemporal Dementia Foundation.
Support for Those Affected by FTD
The Connecticut Frontotemporal Dementia Foundation is committed to providing support for those diagnosed with FTD, as well as their families and caregivers. We understand the challenges and difficulties that come with this diagnosis, and we want to offer a helping hand wherever we can. Our support services include counseling, referrals to local resources, and support groups for both patients and caregivers.
Advocating for FTD Awareness
At The Connecticut Frontotemporal Dementia Foundation, we understand the importance of advocacy in raising awareness about FTD and supporting those affected by this devastating disease. We work closely with public officials to ensure that adequate programs and services are available to FTD patients and their families. We also believe in the power of education and offer training to health professionals to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to work with FTD patients and families.
