Hi Missourians Aging with Pride Members!!

SAGE is leading a new initiative to expand care and services for Transgender and Non-Binary (TGNB) older adults. The survey is linked below and will ask questions about your experience as TGNB community members and as clients of SAGE or organizations similar to SAGE. Your responses will help us learn about the needs and challenges that you and your community experience so that we can develop more resources to meet those needs.

The most powerful, simple and trusted way to gather experience data. Start your journey to experience management and try a free account today.

Little is known about the unique experiences of
LGBTQ+ caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease
and related dementias (ADRD) and the consequences of
these overlapping identities (i.e., LGBTQ+ and caregiver).

The RISE (Research Inclusion Supports Equity) study has created a registry to ensure the LGBTQIA+ community is represented in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia research. The RISE registry is for LGBTQIA+ people 18 and older who either have memory concerns or a memory loss diagnosis, or who are helping care for someone with memory loss or a memory loss diagnosis. RISE can connect those who register to resources and research opportunities. There is no cost to participants, registrants, or organizations for partnering with us. Rather, our goal is to work with you to better serve the LGBTQIA+ community.

In addition to our ongoing recruitment to the registry, they are currently recruiting people to take part in online focus groups so they can better understand the needs and experiences of memory loss and caregiving in the community, as well as to get feedback about how best to include our community in aging research.

RISE be hosting online focus groups on the following dates:

June 7 at 10:00am—person w/ memory loss
June 20 at 10:00am—caregiver
June 22 at 6:00pm—person w/ memory loss
June 28 at 10:00am—person w/ memory loss
July 20 at 6:00pm—caregiver
July 26 at 10:00am—person w/ memory loss
August 3 at 6:00pm—caregiver

SAGE of PROMO Fund came together last weekend to mingle and celebrate the strides they've made in enhancing the quality of life of LGBT older adults through service, community, and advocacy. We also honored two very special people, Erise Williams and Bruce Yampolsky, who were presented with the Dennis W. Hostetler Advocate of the Year Award for their incredible commitment to this community.

Our Manager of Public Policy & Advocacy, Anne Kraus, announced changes that would take place starting the beginning of next year unveiling the new name of SAGE of PROMO Fund and its new logo. We are excited to continue our advocacy work under the new name, Missouri Aging with Pride, or MAP for short. Thank you to AARP St. Louis for sponsoring us and the Moonrise Hotel for hosting us!
