About the Program
There’s strength
in numbers.
And letters.
StrongerMemory℠ is a breakthrough program that helps improve brain health by strengthening recall and focus through simple writing and math exercises.
It all began with a mom and her son
“In 2011, my mom Wendy was repeating herself, forgetting conversations and getting lost in familiar places. There was no standard program to help her. I worked with experts to develop StrongerMemory. My mom began daily reading, writing and math exercises to improve her brain health.
Today, my mom teaches bridge and gives presentations about her brain health journey. I encourage you to join my mom in this simple program. You could see progress after only 30 days.”

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.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month 💜
Over 55 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
Many others—whether care partners, professionals, friends, or neighbors—offer vital support in many different ways.
This month, we’re raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and encouraging brain-healthy habits in daily life.
Brain health matters at every age—and every step counts.
Whether you’re supporting someone, working in aging services, or focusing on your own brain wellness—your actions make a difference.
This June, let’s:
✔️ Learn more about dementia
✔️ Start conversations about memory and aging
✔️ Share resources with others
✔️ Take small steps for brain health (like reading aloud, writing by hand, or doing simple math)
Let’s keep the conversation going — how are you recognizing Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month?

"Thank you, Mr. Liebreich, for sharing this freely… You could have held onto it for yourself and your mother, but you chose to share it with everyone—and for that, we are so grateful."
This powerful quote came from one of the 195+ individuals who joined our StrongerMemory webinar on April 22, 2025, held in collaboration with the SDA South Caribbean Conference Health Ministries Department and Resilient Health Communities, Inc.
Together, we introduced the StrongerMemory program to communities across the Caribbean—sharing how just 30 minutes a day of reading aloud, writing by hand, and doing simple math can help boost memory, improve recall, and sharpen focus—supporting brain health at any age.
And now, we’re honored to announce the launch of a 12-week StrongerMemory program in Trinidad & Tobago—an opportunity to build healthier brains and stronger communities through simple, daily routines.
