🧠 June is Brain Awareness Month 🧠
When we think about our health, we often focus on our heart, blood pressure, or weight. But how often do we think about our brain?
For people looking into prevention and wellness, there is quite a lot we can do. First there are the basics such as staying physically active, maintaining social connections, getting quality sleep, managing stress, and continuing to learn new things. Additionally, we need to pay attention to hearing, sense of smell, vision and preventing head injuries. Lastly, and something often not discussed in improving cognitive reserve and brain neuroplasticity.
For those living with dementia, meaningful engagement, connection, and purpose remain just as important. Every conversation, every shared memory, and every moment of connection matters.
This Brain Awareness Month, challenge yourself to do one thing each day that supports your brain health. Your future self may thank you for it.

I’m proud to finally share a manual designed to help families build the skills they need to support a loved one living with dementia.

Until now, this resource was only available to organizations subscribed to our program. After hearing from so many families and care partners asking for access, we decided it was time to make it available to everyone.

The manual reflects 35 years of my experience providing dementia services in the home and is grounded in the AlzBetter philosophy of supporting care partners, not just the person living with dementia.

The response so far has been incredibly encouraging. My hope is that this manual offers guidance, clarity, and reassurance to families who may be struggling to understand and navigate the dementia journey.

As with many diseases, the types that affect larger numbers of people tend to get most of the attention (and funding). This holds true with dementia where Alzheimer's is the most recognized. Recently, lesser know forms are also getting some attention due to celebrities and their families. Learn more. https://bit.ly/3RjQjfl

I am thrilled to learn that the Tender along with Beth Dunoff from Fill Your Cup are putting on dementia friendly worship services for the Jewish New Year. As a country, we need more people and companies looking to provide dementia friendly services. My hat is off to both organizations.
