Education Conference

PRESENTED BY: Dr. Bonnie Hennig-Trestman
But I Saw it on the Internet: Making Decisions from Questionable Sources

Social media has been so influential and has given people the opportunity to connect and share information. But what happens when you are trying to make decisions about your own care. Are anecdotal stories about nutrition, CBD, or even obtaining benefits always backed by evidence? This presentation will discuss how we can use social media positively and how we can make decisions when we are uncertain about where advice actually comes from.

Dr. Bonnie Hennig-Trestman has over 30 years of expertise providing and guiding clinical services to patients and family members suffering from neurodegenerative, physical, and psychiatric illnesses. She is the Director of the Carilion Clinic Huntington’s Disease Program in Roanoke, Virginia; Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in the Department of Basic Science Education; and the Special Programs Director at HD Reach in Raleigh, NC. She has over two decades of experience working with people who are impacted by Huntington’s Disease.
