SUMMARY:Meeting Communities Where They Are: Innovative Approaches to Dementia Supports and Services
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the unique support and service needs of communities is central to effective home- and community-based dementia care. While many dementia-specific interventions are grounded in research and best practices\, they often require thoughtful adaptation to effectively reach underserved populations. Supports and services for people living with dementia\, their caregivers\, and their communities are most impactful when tailored to reflect cultural values\, language\, and lived experiences. \nThis webinar will feature two specialized\, community-based dementia programs\, each focused on an underserved population—African American and Korean American communities. Both programs have adapted their approaches to reduce barriers to service acceptance\, increase engagement\, and address unmet needs. Together\, they will demonstrate strategies for delivering strengths-based\, dementia-specific services and supports while navigating and overcoming challenges. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note:\nNADRC webinars are free and open to the public.\nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/.\nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings.

SUMMARY:Early Detection of Dementia: What to Do Now — National Resources to Plan\, Partner\, and Act
DESCRIPTION:The BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Early Detection of Dementia is pleased to offer an upcoming webinar to discuss new resources that they have developed for our partners\, including two new resource guides — one for community-based organizations and one for health departments who are interested in promoting early detection of dementia within and across sectors. \nIn this conversation they will discuss how to leverage the Center’s resources to assess needs and assets; identify goals and next steps; build and sustain partnerships; and measure and communicate your impact.

SUMMARY:Can Do! Reframing Dementia Support and Education to Focus on Strengths and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Living well with dementia is deeply influenced by the mindsets of both people living with dementia and their caregivers. Learning to Live with Dementia is a new support and education program model that combines a structured series of brief lessons with facilitated group sessions designed for people living with dementia and for caregivers to reflect on and share their experiences. \nThis innovative approach promotes a shift in perspective—focusing on what people can do to live well with dementia and providing practical strategies to support that goal. In this webinar\, participants will learn about this strengths-based support and education program\, hear inspirational stories\, and gain new perspectives designed to reframe both the dementia journey and the caregiving experience. \nParticipants will also be introduced to the Learning to Live with Dementia Facilitator Toolkit\, a resource developed to strengthen facilitator skills\, confidence\, and capacity to deliver structured\, group-based education and engagement. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note: \nNADRC webinars are free and open to the public. \nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/. \nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings

SUMMARY:Neuroscience Symposium - From Inflammation to Intervention\, Neuroimmune Crossroads: Mechanisms\, Models\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Neuroinflammation lies at the intersection of immune signaling\, neural circuitry\, and disease progression. Over the past decade\, extraordinary advances have deepened our understanding of microglial activation states\, peripheral immune infiltration\, cytokine signaling cascades\, and the long-term consequences of inflammatory stress on cognition and behavior. \nThe challenge before us is clear: \n\nHow do we move from descriptive findings to actionable therapeutic targets in brain tumors\, migraine\, sleep disorders\, and epilepsy?\nHow do we design interventions that modulate inflammatory pathways without disrupting essential neuroimmune communication in multiple sclerosis (MS)\, CIDP\, epilepsy\, headache disorders\, and myasthenia gravis?\nHow can we integrate biomarkers\, advanced imaging\, and AI-driven computational models to predict therapeutic response in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease?\n\nThis conference is a call to refine our tools and bridge the gap between mechanism and intervention. As we move from neuroinflammation to neurointervention\, we are not merely mapping pathways—we are building bridges: between academia\, clinical science\, industry\, government\, and advocacy communities. \nJoin us as more than 250 members of the interdisciplinary neuroscience community—spanning neurology\, psychiatry\, immunology\, psychology\, neurosurgery\, and translational research—come together to transform neuroinflammation from a diagnostic clue into a therapeutic opportunity.
