This program will explore the common changes in memory and cognition that occur as we age, distinguishing between what is normal and when it’s time to be concerned. We’ll also discuss effective strategies for maintaining brain health. Brandi Schneider is the director of Aging Services and Administration at the Schmieding Center for Senior Health and Education, and a licensed master social worker. Brandi will share the latest research on brain health and offer practical tips to reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to practice techniques that help keep our brains active and engaged.
