Mini Grant Supports Brain Health and Dementia Awareness Efforts

Thanks to the generous support of the Washington State Department of Health and the
Dementia Action Collaborative, our organization has been awarded a mini grant to help promote
brain health and dementia awareness in our area.

This funding is an important step forward in strengthening the resources and education available to our
community. We are especially grateful for the opportunity to expand our outreach and make a meaningful impact on the lives
of individuals and families affected by cognitive changes.

As a part of this initiative, we are pleased to announce two Brain Health Seminars in Stevens and Whitman County to share
the latest knowledge and resources to educate community members about:

• Ways to support and maintain brain health
• Early signs and symptoms of cognitive decline
• Strategies to reduce risk and promote overall wellness

We believe education is empowerment, and these seminars will create a welcoming space for learning, questions, and conversation.

In addition to the Brain Health & Dementia Awareness seminars, our facilitators will also launch Memory Cafés and support groups
focused on dementia and cognitive health.

Memory Cafés are safe, supportive gatherings where individuals living with dementia, along with their families and caregivers,
can connect with others who share similar experiences. These sessions are designed to offer:

• Social connection and reduced isolation
• Emotional support and shared understanding
• Access to helpful resources and guidance

We are proud to create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and valued.

This mini grant is more than just funding—it is an investment in our community’s health, resilience, and well-being. We are deeply
appreciative of the Washington State Department of Health for recognizing the importance of brain health education and dementia support.
