💜 June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month 💜

This month, we recognize the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The forget-me-not flower serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance, resilience, hope, and the importance of honoring those living with memory loss.

As the founding Recreation Therapist and Leisure Lifestyle Coach at North Star Inclusive Recreation Solutions, I, Theresa Morale, have the privilege of supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias through meaningful recreation, music, movement, reminiscence, creative expression, and opportunities for social connection.

While memory loss can change many aspects of life, meaningful engagement, purpose, joy, and human connection remain incredibly important. Therapeutic recreation programs can help individuals maintain abilities, express themselves, reduce stress, and experience moments of success and belonging.

I also want to recognize organizations like Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc., CaringKind, Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation, Alzheimer's Association and Alzheimer's Foundation of America for their ongoing commitment to research, education, advocacy, and support for individuals and families navigating dementia.

Together, we can raise awareness, promote brain health, and create more dementia-friendly communities where every person is valued and included.

💜 Learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and ways to get involved at ADRCinc.org. Consider supporting their upcoming walk on June 20, 2026!
