Kinship Care Month 💙

When grandparents, relatives, or close family friends step in to raise a child, they’re providing more than a home — they’re providing love, stability, and a sense of belonging. 💕

Kinship caregivers often take on this important role unexpectedly, and they deserve recognition, support, and resources, too.
This Kinship Care Month, we celebrate the incredible caregivers who open their hearts and homes to the children in their lives. Your love makes a difference. 🌟

September is Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a lesser-known form of dementia and the individuals and families it impacts.

While Alzheimer's disease often begins with memory loss, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) typically affects behavior, personality, decision-making, and language first. Because these changes can be mistaken for stress, depression, or other conditions, understanding the signs is an important step toward earlier diagnosis and support.

Awareness leads to understanding, and understanding helps reduce stigma. By learning more about FTD, we can better support those living with the disease and the caregivers who walk beside them every day.

💙 Happy Grandparents Day!

Today, we celebrate grandparents, great-grandparents, and all the grandparent figures who enrich our lives with their love, wisdom, and support.

Whether they're connected by family, friendship, or chosen community, these special individuals help shape generations through the stories they share, the traditions they pass on, and the kindness they show every day.

This Grandparents Day, take a moment to reach out, share a memory, make a phone call, or simply say "thank you" to someone who has made a lasting impact on your life.

Every connection matters, and every generation has something meaningful to share.

💙 Happy Grandparents Day to all who love, guide, and inspire across generations!

September is National Older Adult Center Month! 🏡💙

Older adult centers are vibrant community hubs that promote healthy aging through wellness, education, recreation, and social connection. Whether you're looking to stay active, explore a new hobby, enjoy a meal with friends, or connect with valuable community resources, there's something for everyone.

This month, we celebrate the important role older adult centers play in helping older adults stay engaged, independent, and connected to their communities.

💜 September is World Alzheimer's Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show support for the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

As former President Jimmy Carter said:

"We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams."

This quote reminds us that every person has a unique story, experiences, and strengths that deserve to be honored. A dementia diagnosis does not define who someone is. By fostering understanding, compassion, and inclusion, we can help build communities where people living with dementia—and those who care for them—feel seen, valued, and supported.

Together, let's continue to replace stigma with empathy and create a world where everyone can age with dignity.
