Are you caring for someone living with Alzheimer's or other dementia and looking for support? Join Missy Harden for her next Care Partner Support Series! Hear from a recent CPSS participant below 👇 "I wish every care partner could meet both of you and participate in this series, especially at the beginning of the journey that each shares with a person whose brain is compromised. Enough emphasis cannot be placed on this positive approach to interaction, as both partners struggle to communicate well and effectively in all that takes place throughout day-to-day living. Unfortunately, so much of the joy still to be lived can be lost in the frustrations that both experience, and this sadly can have such a negative impact on the relationship. The Care Partner Support Series educates us to understand so many aspects of dementia from actual changes to the brain, demonstrations how to communicate effectively with compassion, and about the impact on and necessity to care for ourselves." The next Care Partner Support Series begins on May 2nd! There is still space available so don't wait-REGISTER TODAY!

Effective & quantifiable Alzheimer treatment hasn't been done
As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re re-sharing our powerful campaign, Change The Ending. This hard-hitting film lays bare the harsh realities of dementia – a reality far too many of us are aware of. The tide is turning, we’re starting to close in, but there’s so much more we need to do to change the ending for everyone affected by dementia. Stand with @Alzheimer’s Research UK #ForACure by watching and sharing our film to help change the ending.

As we head towards the end of September, I wanted to share this video. It demonstrates the impact of Alzheimer's and Dementia. Today is 🌎 Alzheimer’s Day and holds significant importance as it seeks to raise awareness about this neurological disorder and diminish the associated stigma. With over 50 million people worldwide living with dementia and a growing number being diagnosed each year, it is crucial to expand public awareness and assist those affected. One of the primary objectives of this day is to advocate for increased investment in research. Despite its widespread impact, Alzheimer’s disease still lacks a cure. Therefore, it is essential to allocate resources to research to gain a deeper understanding of the disease and develop effective treatments. #alzheimersresearch #awareness #worldalzheimersday

Incredible and deeply impactful campaign by Alzheimer's Research UK Alzheimer's disease is a devastating brain disorder that gradually robs people of their memory, thinking skills, and ultimately, their ability to perform even the simplest daily tasks. What's truly alarming is how many people are suffering without even knowing it. This powerful campaign shines a light on the harsh realities of dementia, offering a sobering reminder of the importance of awareness and research. Together, we can push for breakthroughs that will change lives. #ForACure #AlzheimersResearch #DementiaAwareness #HealthMatters #SupportTheCause
