These very-short “pocket” films are designed to be viewed anywhere at anytime: a doctor’s office, a Congressional hallway, a family living room. Please take them. Put them on your own website or powerpoint presentation; play them on your phone or tablet. They are free for non-commercial use. Understanding Alzheimer’s better will reduce stigma, improve care, and help the public fight against the disease.
Video Resource Library
Learning about brain health, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and the caregiving journey can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, hearing a story, seeing an approach in action, or listening to an expert explain a concept brings clarity and comfort in a way that printed words alone simply can’t.
That’s why we’re gathering impactful dementia‑related videos from across Hawai‘i and around the world—bringing them together in one easy‑to‑explore space. This collection includes local perspectives, cultural insights, global research, caregiving wisdom, and practical tools for everyday life. We do not own these videos—they are shared here to help our community find helpful educational resources.
