Thank you The Ontario Brain Institute for having us!

We’re grateful to have been a guest at this important event. The ‘Supporting the Elder Brain’ talk highlights a truly meaningful mission—helping individuals and families understand the difference between normal age-related cognitive changes and potential warning signs that may require medical attention.

By fostering awareness and discussing proactive strategies, including social prescribing and early healthcare engagement, events like this empower communities to better support brain health as we age. Thank you for hosting such an impactful conversation!

Dementia affects millions worldwide, but did you know women are at the center of this crisis? They are not only more likely to develop the disease but also provide the majority of care for those living with it. Despite this, the gendered impact of dementia is often overlooked.

In our latest blog, we explore why dementia disproportionately affects women, the challenges they face as caregivers, and what can be done to support them.

Sexual health is often left out of conversations about dementia—but it shouldn’t be. Intimacy, connection, and dignity remain important, even as cognitive abilities change.
