Headbands are in fashion at Thrive! 🧠 This week, we tested the @thinkiesystem. Using this tool, participants received real-time feedback on their brain activity while doing brain games and StrongerMemory.
At StrongerMemory, we often talk about our exercises as a `workout for your brain.` The more you exercise, the stronger it gets! Our Thrive participants saw in real time just how much they were working, hitting higher numbers to more accurately measure the benefits of brain `workouts.`
Thank you to @thinkiesystem for making this experience possible!

✍️ Stronger Memory is proud to have our Director of Brain Health, Jessica Fredericksen, featured in a story called "Honoring the Individual: A Person-Centered Approach to Memory Care" written by Paige Cerulli for i Advance Senior Care.
From the article:
Person-centered care is reshaping the senior care industry, with especially meaningful benefits in memory care. By prioritizing each individual’s needs, preferences, and life experiences, this approach moves away from traditional staff-centered models. As a result, memory care communities can deliver higher-quality care that truly respects and honors every resident as a whole person.

StrongerMemory and Goodwin Living were honored to attend the official launch of Resilient Health Communities (RHC) this June in Silver Spring, Maryland.
RHC is a nonprofit committed to addressing dementia and social isolation—especially in underserved and underrepresented communities. Their mission is rooted in the belief that brain health is foundational to living a full and empowered life.
At StrongerMemory, we share this belief. That’s why this partnership is so meaningful—built on shared values of brain health equity, dignity in aging, and expanding access to tools that support memory, focus, and independence.
We’re proud that the StrongerMemory program is one of the resources RHC is using to bring accessible, daily brain health practices to the communities that need them most.
Congratulations to the entire RHC team on this important milestone. We look forward to what we can accomplish together.
