Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.Why This MattersAlzheimer’s and other dementias impact Black Americans across the lifespan—not only in older age.While 21.3% of Black Americans age 70 and older are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, risk often begins earlier due to midlife factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, hearing loss, and limited access to preventive care.According to the Alzheimer’s Association, changes in the brain related to Alzheimer’s can begin 20 years or more before symptoms appear. This makes early education, awareness, and access to resources especially important for caregivers and families—so they can recognize warning signs, plan ahead, and take steps that may help protect brain health.Black Americans are about twice as likely as white Americans to develop Alzheimer’s or another dementia, yet are less likely to receive a timely diagnosis and often enter care at later, more advanced stages.Early cognitive changes can appear in midlife, with more than 10% of Black adults age 45 and older reporting worsening memory or confusion—yet fewer than half discuss these concerns with a healthcare provider.Caregiving responsibilities often begin earlier and fall disproportionately on Black families, who are more likely to provide care without formal support and face barriers to culturally responsive care.What You’ll GainA deeper understanding of risk across the lifespanLearn how dementia risk develops from midlife through older adulthood and how common health conditions impact brain health.Culturally relevant strategies to protect brain healthDiscover practical, evidence-based tools rooted in faith, family, food, movement, and community.Confidence in caregiving and advocacyBuild skills to manage stress, navigate healthcare systems, and connect with trusted Alzheimer’s Association resources.Connection and communityEngage with others who share similar experiences and strengthen a network of support grounded in trust and understanding.Who Should AttendThis free event is ideal for caregivers, family members, friends, and community members supporting someone living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia—especially within the Indianapolis Black/African American community.Reserve Your Spot & ShareThere is no cost to attend, but space is limited.
