November: Raising Awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and Supporting Family Caregivers
November marks both National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, highlighting crucial public health topics. Public health professionals are encouraged to leverage partner toolkits to educate communities about Alzheimer's—focusing on early detection and adopting healthy habits that can reduce risks. Additionally, resources are available to support family caregivers, raising awareness about caregiving challenges and promoting caregiver well-being.
These toolkits provide content for social media, newsletters, presentations, and websites, making it easy to spread awareness. Engaging with these resources can amplify understanding and foster a supportive environment for those affected by Alzheimer’s and their caregivers.
