NAMI GLAC's Connect with HOPE Warmline invites you to a lunch time webinar on Anosognosia TOMORROW Friday, March 20 at 12:00pm.

What is Anosognosia?
'Anosognosia is a condition where you can’t recognize other health conditions or problems that you have. Experts commonly describe it as “denial of deficit” or “lack of insight.” It falls under the family of agnosias, all of which happen when your brain can’t recognize or process what your senses tell it.

Learn about common signs, how it can impact relationships, and compassionate ways to offer support.

Hosted by NAMI GLAC's Connect with Hope Warmline and guest speaker Dennis Thompson, who has an MA in Psychology and 30+ years with NAMI San Gabriel Valley.
