Amy Johnson is a 38 year old mother of 4 young children living in Windom, Minnesota. Her 40 year old husband, Mark, was diagnosed with behavioral variant Frontotemporal Dementia in March 2018, and currently resides in Mankato, Minnesota in the memory care wing of an assisted living facility. Amy works full time as an IS Application Developer, which she has been doing for the past 15 years. She also details her story and about her challenges as a grieving wife, mother and managing things for her husband from afar at markandamyjohnson.blogspot.com. She and Mark were featured in May 2019 on a 60 Minutes segment about FTD.

Join Amy for her presentation at our Fourth Annual National Caregiving Conference:

Panel Discussion: The Power of Storytelling in Advocating for Change in Caregiving
Saturday 10 a.m.
Storytelling takes us (the reader, the listener, the viewer) on your journey. Effective storytelling can allow a powerful passing through your joy, your pain, your grace and your personal transformation. Your story creates a connection to what you have learned and allows a deeper understanding into why your experience needs to be important to all of us. Developing our individual storytelling skills as caregivers is critically important in our policy and advocacy transformation efforts because our pictures and stories have power beyond anything else.
