Hello, I’m Lynne.
Join me in helping professionals and communities understand the aging brain while building skills to interact with those experiencing its changes - through training, workshops and healthcare education.
Specialized training and education
“We’ll work together to customize training and education to build confidence, clarity, and connection.”
Why This Unique Training and Education Matters
By 2030, the “Silver Tsunami” will hit. The wave of aging Americans will reach 70 million Americans. 1 in 5 will be 65 or older.
Over 9 million will be living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, nearly doubling today’s numbers.
80% of those experiencing brain change currently live in their communities rather than in care facilities.
As a result, public-facing professionals are likely to encounter someone navigating these changes yet most feel unprepared to respond with confidence, empathy and practical skills.
