Peer Mentorship with Lewy Body Disease: A protocol for co‐developing and piloting a program for post‐diagnostic support

Social isolation, loneliness and stigma are some of the most detrimental psychosocial effects of living with dementia, including Lewy Body Disease (LBD). Peer‐to‐peer support between newly diagnosed people living with LBD and more experienced people living with LBD has the potential to reap extremely positive effects for both parties, and their care partners (CP). This presentation will discuss a protocol and the developments of a project to co‐develop a peer mentorship program (PMP) with people living with LBD and their CP.
