A discussion on women, brain health and dementia

"Join us for a conversation about this important, complex and unfolding issue. We will talk with people working in this field.

We know that gender can impact:

• risk factors for developing dementia
• how symptoms are expressed
• care needs and caregiving

We also know that:

• dementia in women tends to progress faster
• symptomatically, women may present show more depression as a symptom than men do
• brain health research subjects have typically been men, so it’s unclear whether current therapies and treatments are as effective for women

Don't miss this chance to learn directly from people with both professional and lived expertise on women, brain health and dementia. Register now on Zoom.

Speakers include:

• Angeleta Cox, Caregiver and Advocate
• Lynn Posluns, President and CEO, Women's Brain Health Initiative
• Dr. Shafeena Premji, MD, CCFP, MHA, BSc, NCMP"
