Episode description
Dementia is now Australia’s leading cause of death, and it doesn’t just affect the elderly.
Around 90 kids die from childhood dementia each year in Australia, that’s about the same number of children that die from cancer.
In this bonus episode of The Briefing, we revisit Antoinette Lattouf’s conversation with Meg Maack - CEO of the Childhood Dementia Initiative and mother to two children with childhood dementia.
