Happy Thursday! Did you know that some participants in Alzheimer’s research are caregivers, not participating for themselves, but for someone they love? Some caregivers are motivated to take part in AD research as a way to support their loved one, and have found themselves with additional support, connections, and answered questions about being an Alzheimer’s caregiver. Watch the personal testimonies from Alzheimer’s caregivers below! https://www.alzheimers.gov/clinical-trials/participant-stories?&utm_source=nia-eblast&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=general-20250731#why-do-caregivers-participate-in-research–

Hello all! We’re hoping you’ll enjoy the holiday weekend coming up! We’ve had some HOT weather lately, and it looks like temperatures are going to stay high. Remember to drink lots of water, especially if you’ll be doing outdoor activities. It can be all too easy to forget to stay hydrated when you’re having fun with friends and family!

Hello all, The May newsletter has arrived and has been included below. Please take time to read through as we are honoring growth, resilience, and connection this month. As we move into the fullness of spring, May brings meaningful opportunities to care for ourselves and others. This month, we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month and Older Americans Month, both of which highlight the importance of emotional well-being, community, and compassionate caregiving. Let’s take this month to slow down, breathe deeply, and recommit to caring for our minds, bodies, and each other. BLT Pasta Salad: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/blt-pasta-salad/ Happy Reading!
