“We need to change the narrative around what brain health is. How young people view brain health, how employers and employees talk about or think about brain health.” — Melissa Chan

In this clip recorded during Walking the Talk for Dementia along the Camino de Santiago, #AtlanticFellows Melissa Chan Global Brain Health Institute and Angga D. Martha TheEquityInitiative highlight the importance of taking an intergenerational approach to #dementia care and advocacy.

Very humbled to have had the opportunity to spend the week with this inspirational bunch! There is so much strength when a group of deeply passionate individuals come together for a common purpose.
