June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia worldwide. In an effort to raise awareness about these potentially fatal brain disorders, which primarily affect memory, speech, reasoning abilities and the nervous system, the Alzheimer’s Association encourages everyone to wear purple this month.

Also, don’t forget that veterans and their family members, friends and caretakers who are experiencing the difficulties of dementia may need extra support at this time, too. You can help by offering to prepare meals, lending an ear or, if it’s safe to do so, visiting with a person who has Alzheimer’s or dementia to keep them company while giving their family or caregiver a break.
