June is "Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness" Month

As we close the month of June, I wanted to address an awareness that is very close to me and my family. Awareness of Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. My father passed away from the physical complications resulting from Alzheimer's disease.?

Please don't think that your family is immune to this disease. According to Statista.com, "In the United States, around 37 percent of people with Alzheimer’s are 75 to 84 years old. Additionally, around 27 percent of those with Alzheimer’s are aged 65 to 74 years. Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia which impacts memory, behavior and thinking and can lead to symptoms becoming so severe that those with the disease require support with basic daily tasks. Alzheimer’s remains a relevant problem around the world."?

5 FACTS ABOUT ALZHEIMER’S THAT YOU (Probably) DIDN’T KNOW

• Around the world - An estimated 47 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and if a change doesn’t come by 2030, this number will grow to 76 million.
• Each second counts - A person develops Alzheimer’s disease in the United States every 65 seconds.
• Caregivers - In America, more than 16 million people take care of family or friends with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and that, too, without pay.
• A leading disease - In the U.S., Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death and 6.2 million of those living with Alzheimer’s disease are over 65.
• One out of three deaths - Alzheimer’s or other dementia kills one in three seniors and deaths due to this disease are more than prostate cancer and breast cancer combined.

What can you do, NOW??

• Talk about it - Spread the word
• This month helps spread awareness about Alzheimer's and other dementia along with the different kinds of care that people with the disease require. It motivates people to know more about the disease. This is not the time to keep quiet and say that this is a family thing. Everyone either knows or is caring for someone who is dealing with Alzheimer's.?
• Love, Care, and Support - It’s?for our family, our elders
• People with Alzheimer’s or other dementia often withdraw from society and even family. This month promotes talking to them and reminding them that they are special. Remember, many caregivers aren't ready or feel overwhelmed when it is time to care for a family member who has Alzheimer's or dementia. Many feel frustrated and weak at times and feel that they are oftentimes caring for a loved one alone. We want to be there for them also.
• Contribute your Resources (Time, Money or Energy) - It propels research?
• Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month is a way to propel research and find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. When more people come together, things are achieved faster.?

June is Children's Awareness Month

According to National Today: "Children’s Awareness Month is a special month that focuses on a generation of leaders who will pave the way for our future. Did you know that the word ‘June’ relates to ‘children?’ It is derived from the Latin word ‘Ju-Ven-Is’ which translates to ‘youth.’"

Children reflect our greatest hope as a people. Regardless of our background, childhood is a critical time for all. The stage in their lives that sets the course for their overall social, emotional, and physical health and economic circumstances. In fact, when young children, at the beginning of their learning, receive a high-quality education, they see tremendous dividends for the rest of their lives. Including higher academic performance in later stages, increased chances of attending college, higher lifetime earnings, and reduced likelihood of being involved in crimes.?

Children’s Awareness Month was founded to remember all the children who have died in violent deaths in America. It has grown into something bigger. Children’s Awareness Month has become a time to spend nurturing and cultivating the joys and treasures of childhood. This month aims to encourage, support, and educate children while prioritizing their health and well-being.

Every child deserves to be valued and cherished. As parents and well-wishers, we have no greater responsibility than to instill the hope for a better tomorrow for our younger generation. During the remainder of this Children Awareness Month, let us be determined to work with our children to instill a spirit of confidence, pride, and self-esteem in them. Always remember that every child deserves a chance to succeed.
