WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) supports Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month in June. The Alzheimer’s Association asks people around the world to join in raising awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by wearing purple and participating in activities to show your event and help end the Alzheimer’s epidemic, including:

  • Educating your friends and colleagues about Alzheimer’s;

  • Going purple on social media;

  • Turning your office purple; or

  • Hosting a “purple with a purpose” event.


“NAELA member attorneys often assist clients and their families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, trying their best to make the legal aspects of caring for a loved one with these illnesses less stressful,” said NAELA President Letha Sgritta McDowell, CELA, CAP.
