"Disrupt Dementia: Empowering Minds and Inspiring Lives," is a four-part virtual series about what everyone – at every age – needs to know about brain health and dementia, and what we can all do to become more empowered on behalf of ourselves, our families and our communities.
Dementia is a global health concern affecting millions of lives, and as the population ages, understanding and addressing cognitive health becomes increasingly crucial. "Disrupt Dementia" aims to unravel the complexities of dementia and explore practical strategies for maintaining brain health at any age.
The series includes the following sessions:
Session I: Demystifying Dementia and the Six Pillars of Brain Health
This session will provide a basic understanding of dementia and brain health. We’ll describe specific steps people can take at any age to optimize their cognitive health and offer resources that individuals, families and community leaders can share to empower people who currently have dementia to continue living with joy, meaning and purpose.
