We are looking for Black or African American families living with the challenges of memory loss.
SHARE stands for: Support Health Activities Resources Education. SHARE is designed to help those who are experiencing changes in their memory and their family or friend care partners to plan for the future. Our SHARE counselors are trained to provide support and resources to you and your family. We are in this together!
For over 20 years, SHARE has helped families plan for the challenges we all face when we experience changes in our memory. The newest version of SHARE has been adapted to better serve African American families and friends. Participants will either receive the 6 session SHARE program or a single session education and resource session. Your participation in this study will help others who experience similar challenges to create a plan for the future. Both care partners will receive a small payment for their participation.
