SUMMARY:Workshop Part I: "I Will Remember for You": Alzheimer's Awareness in the African American Community
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nHEAL Collaborative is partnering with Mount Teman A.M.E. Church in Elizabeth\, NJ\, to bring a two-part Alzheimer’s educational workshop series. Esteemed subject matter experts will share how Alzheimer’s impacts communities of color and how our participation in clinical trials matters. Caregivers will also join the discussion to provide first-hand accounts of their experiences caring for loved ones during their journey. Local advocacy organizations will share insights and information about their respective supportive resources. \n  \nAfrican-Americans & Alzheimer’s \nThe Alzheimer’s Association identified an emerging public health crisis among African-Americans — the Silent Epidemic of Alzheimer’s Disease. This report brings together for the first time an accumulating body of evidence about the scope and nature of Alzheimer’s disease in African Americans. \nEach study is important on its own\, but only when put together does the magnitude of the \ncrisis become clear. \nAmong the findings from research highlighted in this report : \n• Alzheimer’s disease is more prevalent among African-Americans than among whites — with estimates ranging from 14% to almost 100% higher \n• There\, is greater familial risk of Alzheimer’s in African-Americans \n• Genetic and environmental factors may work differently to cause Alzheimer disease in \nAfrican-Americans. \n  \nOCTOBER 22: WORKSHOP PART I \n“I Will Remember for You”: Alzheimer’s Awareness in the African American Community \nOur first workshop will explain the stages of Alzheimer’s\, dementia and memory loss. From this educational workshop\, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and resources to take next steps in their brain health journey. We will also hear from a Caregiver’s Panel to hear their heartfelt stories. \nSPEAKERS \nRev. George Britt\, Senior Pastor\, Mount Teman A.M.E.

SUMMARY:Workshop Part II:  Alzheimer’s: Diversity in Clinical Trials Participation & Brain Health

We will also highlight the importance of including our children in conversations about their family member’s experiences with Alzheimer’s. Expert panelists will also explain the distinction between dementia and mental illness by sharing the symptoms and why it’s vital to seek a professional diagnosis.  \n\n SPEAKERS: \nRev.
