#Stroke can affect people of all ages. Gerardo was 26 when he had a stroke – something that he didn’t think was possible. One of the biggest lessons from his story is the importance of learning the signs of stroke. This #StrokeAwarenessMonth, arm yourself with the tools to spot a stroke and save a life. #TimeIsBrain #BeFAST    https://lnkd.in/efWdFGuS   Dr. Nikhil Mehta MD, Dr. Chris Goettl MD MBA, VIP Vascular & Interventional Partners

Good discussion with Steven Bartlett and Wendy Suzuki

As part of my MS Awareness Month project, I wanted to share this video which is one of several that Genentech (makers of Ocrevus) share on YouTube. I chose this particular video, Jeanne's story for several reasons. One reason is the fact that her MS journey started as relapsing remitting MS, and then eventually progressed to the primary progressive stage of MS. There were a couple of points she made that I thought would be helpful for anybody going on this journey themselves, with a friend, or as a caretaker for a loved one. One of those points Jeanne makes is about the ever-changing symptoms with this disease. She makes the point that every time she got comfortable adapting to certain symptoms, additional symptoms would ultimately complicate the game and put her back into the discomfort zone. The other point that really stuck with me, as I'm sure it does with others, was her comment about the disease and its impact on other family members, friends, and caregivers. Later in the month I will touch specifically on that point. You don't realize how much your limitations dramatically impact your family in terms of the simplest of planning, as well as any sort of long-term planning until you're in it. The other point I wanted to make for people who are on this journey included her discussion about her transitioning essentially from walking with assistance, to canes, and ultimately the wheelchair. Jeanne and her husband seem to continuously evolve in a manner that allows them to still participate in a lot of the things they love, albeit with some adaptations. It is also very evident that her husband continues to help her evolve in the ever-changing lifestyle. I can tell you from experience, how important that is! In the beginning, Jeanne speaks about the fact that MS has as much emotional as physical impact on a person, and a large part of that comes with those physical transitions, and the ability to continue to approach all aspects of your life with the recognition that you need to keep that positive spirit, and adapt as best you can to maximize the quality of your life! #MSAWARENESS #MSWARRIOR

Dr. Bashir Easter's doctoral research in 2020 focused on the experiences of African American adolescents who care for relatives with Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (ADRD).,This research led to the establishment of the Bridge Youth program, aimed at supporting adolescent caregivers of family members with ADRD living at home. The findings from the research highlighted the need for culturally and age-appropriate programs to support this specific demographic of caregivers. As a result, The Invisible Caregivers (TIC) initiative was created to address this need., Shanelle Snowden, one of the original (TIC), shares her personal story about caring for her mother, providing insight into the experiences of young adult caregivers., It is important to listen to the perspectives of these young adults and learn about the impactful work being done through The Invisible Caregivers (TIC)., Additionally, it's essential to stay informed about the progress and changes occurring within the Dementia Villages project please take a listen! We are looking to grow the capacity of youth doing this work. If you are interested in learning how your organization can help.
