This January, we’re highlighting the importance of brain health and sharing resources that will empower you to protect your cognitive wellness. Small changes to your daily routine – from staying active to building social connections – can make a big difference in reducing your risk of dementia later in life.
Visit the Alzheimer Society of Canada website to find practical tips and resources on how you can prioritize your brain health today, and explore everything from diet and physical activity ideas to the benefits of social engagement.
This Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, make your brain health a priority to reduce your risk of dementia!
Join us for a powerful and inspiring afternoon as four special guests share their personal journeys of living with dementia. This event is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and connect with the lived experience of those impacted. Together, we can foster awareness and break down barriers.
