Free educational program offered by Alzheimer’s Association

RHINELANDER – Next week, the Alzheimer’s Association will host a free educational workshop focused on lifestyle habits and brain health.

The Building Brain-Healthy Habits program will be held at the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Oneida County, 100 W. Keenan St., Rhinelander, on Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

According to a release from the Alzheimer’s Association, the session will provide research-backed guidance on brain health and emphasize the importance of taking proactive steps to protect memory and thinking at every age.

During the interactive workshop, participants will explore everyday habits that support cognitive wellness, including exercise and proper nutrition; hear why prioritizing brain health matters throughout life; and learn how to build a personalized action plan for brain-healthy habits.

“Research shows there are everyday habits you can build today to help protect your memory and thinking in the future, even reducing your risk of cognitive decline and possibly dementia,” the release stated. “Changing one habit has a ripple effect on others, and even small actions add up to big improvements.”

The workshop is free and open to the public. Registration is appreciated, but not required. To register or to learn more about the program, contact Julie St. Pierre at 715-352-4091 or jstpierre@alz.org.
