February is Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender + History month. A dedicated month to celebrate, raise awareness and educate on how we can all help LGBTQ+ people feel safe, seen, and supported.

Some of the symptoms of dementia can have particular implications for LGBTQ+ people. For example, memory problems might make it harder for you to remember who you have told about your sexual orientation or gender identity.

Did you know Alzheimer’s Society have resources available for people who are living with or affected by dementia in the LGBTQ+ community? Click here for advice and support: http://spkl.io/6187AohbH

November is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and National Family Caregivers Month. Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and daily functioning. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. Early detection and education can greatly improve outcomes.

Caregivers often experience emotional, physical and financial strain. Supporting caregivers strengthens entire families and communities.

Alzheimer’s Awareness Month calls to expand understanding, honor caregivers, and address inequities. Through community-based education, heart-brain health promotion, and advocacy, we can advance brain health equity for all.
