Stop by to connect with us and learn more about:
🧠 Brain health and cognitive wellness
🧠 Strategies that may help reduce the risk of dementia
🧠 Why it's important to start focusing on brain health in midlife
🧠 Lifestyle habits that support long-term cognitive health

We're excited to share practical information, answer questions, and help raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early action.

And the excitement doesn't stop in New Haven! We'll be participating in Walk to End Alzheimer's events across Connecticut, and we'd love to see you at any of the walks throughout the state.

Together, we can support those impacted by Alzheimer's, promote healthier futures, and advance the mission of a world without this disease.

September is World Alzheimer's Month, and at LiveWell we mark it the way we do everything: by focusing on what people can do.

Dementia doesn't define anyone. It's something you live with, not something that decides who you are. All month we'll be sharing brain health tips, community events, and the stories of the people who make this community what it is.

Meet Carol Conklin, a member of LiveWell's Empowering Partnerships Network (EPN).

Carol made history as Connecticut's first licensed female electrician and later owned her own electrical contracting business. She has spent a lifetime breaking barriers and advocating for change.

Carol and her wife, Janet, have been together for 50 years and were actively involved in the effort that helped secure marriage rights for same-sex couples in Connecticut. They were married 17 years ago, following that historic achievement.

Today, as a person living with dementia, Carol continues to make a difference by sharing her voice, experiences, and insights to help shape research and improve understanding of dementia.

Carol says being part of EPN has given her purpose and meaning. She is especially proud of helping professionals and researchers better understand dementia from the perspective of someone living it every day.

"Your voice matters," Carol reminds us. Through EPN, people living with dementia have opportunities to influence research, educate professionals, and create meaningful change.

Interested in getting involved? Learn more about the Empowering Partnerships Network and how your experiences can make a difference by calling 860.628.9000.
