Members of the GWEP had the pleasure of joining the Alzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter in Augusta last week in honor of Maine's State Alzheimer's Advocacy Day.

Each organization present did a phenomenal job in underscoring the importance of engaging state leaders in efforts to better the lives of people living with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias and their caregivers.

UPCOMING EVENT! What is Dementia Inclusivity? Why does it matter, and how can we enable it?

Thank you to all who were able to attend Dr. Susan Wehry's talks in the past couple weeks!

At the York County Elder Abuse Task Force's Annual Conference, Dr. Wehry gave a riveting presentation on the risks and protective factors of elder abuse for people living with cognitive decline, and provided methods for how we can prevent elder abuse.

At the Maine Senior Guide's Successful Aging Expo, Dr. Wehry gave her state-wide talk, "Combatting Dementia Worry: Straight Talk About the Aging Brain," to discuss what the difference is between normal brain aging and what is a sign of cognitive decline, and what we can do to prevent it.
