Did you know that in addition to Pride Month, June is also Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month?

Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia affect millions of individuals and families across the country. This month serves as an opportunity to raise awareness, promote understanding, and support ongoing efforts to advance research, improve care, and strengthen resources for those impacted by cognitive decline.

Brain health is important at every stage of life. By learning about risk factors, recognizing early signs, and supporting inclusive communities, we can help ensure that individuals living with Alzheimer's and related conditions receive the respect, support, and services they deserve.

Join the GACEC in recognizing Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month and helping spread awareness about the importance of brain health for all.
