To inspire hope, save lives, and improve the quality of life for people living with brain changes caused by dementia or other brain conditions.

Engagement - We have conducted over 100 complimentary Brain Connection Cafes over the past year, serving between 15 and 90 people per session average of 20 on Mondays and 45 on Fridays, depending on the week and session. We have conducted over 35 additional complimentary special programs within the Hillsborough County regional area to heighten community awareness of brain change and opportunities for families and people living with dementia to engage in community life and activities. Community members have used the space to offer Art classes, music sessions, death cafes, church programs, teen events, line dancing, improve classes, and more. Neuronation offered free PT classes over 12 Fridays following the Brain Cafe. Teepa offered 50 Care Partner Education Sessions on Fridays 11-12p. We have served on multiple boards and committees to engage with the community of change. See Schedule O for more specifics.

Trainings - We have offered 60 complimentary knowledge and skill sessions for families, individuals, or organizations at the SAF Hillsborough location or at their preferred location. We have enhanced Positive Approach to Care Certifications by holding them onsite and inviting in local teachers both living with brain change and their partners to support education and practice. This work has engaged national and international visitors through 16 Certification Courses held at SAF and 10 full-day Skills Trainings. We have provided training for Orange County EMS, Duke and UNC Nursing programs, financial advisors, and more. We are beginning to use videos to expand training beyond the in-person people so that this work can benefit the global community.
