Brain health kit (coming soon)
There are three available types of kits focusing on different needs areas — to assist in starting a conversation or stimulating interactions with a person with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and resources for caregivers. Each kit comes with a variety of tools specific to the need, including music, memory games and books.

Fidget blanket workshop
Create a calming tool for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Sewing machines, fabric, and fidget items (zippers, buttons, clips, etc.) will be provided, as well as a 3D printer to print your own small-scale fidget items.

Blood pressure drop-in clinic
Have your blood pressure taken for free by certified nursing students. No need to make an appointment. At each drop-in you’ll receive information on brain and heart health, and tools for healthy aging.

Book club in a box (coming in 2020)
Reserve a book club in a box that includes youth and adult titles on or relating to Alzheimer’s disease. Ten copies of each book, along with a book discussion guide will be included in each kit.

Book list
Reading lists for youth and adult readers, featuring non-fiction titles providing information and insight on Alzheimer’s disease.
