SUMMARY:GWEP GROW Brain Health ECHO Series | Restoring the Caregiver: The Connection Between Sleep\, Health\, and Dementia Risk
DESCRIPTION:The GWEP Brain Health ECHO Series is a free education program running monthly on the 4th Wednesday\, 12:30–1:30 p.m. beginning March 25 through June 24\, 2026 \nPresenter: Lyndi Wyrostek\, MSW\, LSW\, Social Worker and Grant Program Manager\, MemoryLane Care Services \nPresentation Description\nThis presentation will focus on important relationships between sleep quality\, dementia risk and caregiver health outcomes. Potential causes of insomnia and sleep disruption\, including behavioral\, environmental\, and caregiving-related factors will be discussed. Attendees will learn practical and applicable strategies to improve sleep hygiene\, manage stimulus control and other components of cognitive behavioral sleep intervention. \nObjectives \n\nExplain the relationship between sleep quality\, caregiver health outcomes\, and dementia risk.\nIdentify common behavioral\, environmental\, and caregiving-related factors that contribute to insomnia and sleep disruption.\nDescribe the components of cognitive behavioral sleep interventions\, including sleep hygiene\, stimulus control\, and sleep compression.\n\nDownload Flyer\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:GWEP GROW Brain Health ECHO Series | Beyond the Eyes: Understanding the Vision-Dementia Intersect
DESCRIPTION:The GWEP Brain Health ECHO Series is a free education program running monthly on the 4th Wednesday\, 12:30–1:30 p.m. beginning March 25 through June 24\, 2026 \nPresenters:\nDonna Barrett\, MSW\, LSW\, Program Manager\, Senior Services\, Summit County Public Health\nand Nicole Becher\, MAEd\, Program Coordinator\, Summit County Public Health \nPresentation Description\nThis presentation examines the critical\, evidence-based link between vision loss and accelerated cognitive decline\, with studies showing that up to 20% of dementia cases may be vision-related. The presentation will focus on the physiological and psychological mechanisms of this intersection and equip professionals with actionable strategies for early detection and intervention to mitigate client risk and encourage a goal to integrate eye health as a modifiable risk factor within broader brain health and aging practices. \nObjectives \n\nQuantify the Link: Summarize the established correlation between vision loss and accelerated cognitive decline\, citing the approximate percentage of dementia cases potentially related to vision impairment.\nExplain the Mechanisms: Identify and describe the three primary physiological and psychological ways poor vision impacts the brain (reduced sensory input\, increased cognitive load\, and structural changes).\nRecognize Neurological Symptoms: List at least three vision-related symptoms that can be early indicators or manifestations of neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s\, Dementia\, or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).\nPromote Actionable Strategies: Articulate key preventative and therapeutic strategies\, such as regular eye exams and chronic condition management\, that professionals can promote to clients to mitigate the risk of vision-related cognitive decline.\n\nRegister Here \nDownload Flyer
