Education

The CCBH Education Mission is to provide conferences, multi-class series, workshops, and informational presentations to increase public knowledge about preventing cognitive decline, managing dementia, updates on clinical research findings on brain health, and how families and caregivers can best access South Florida resources. We seek to improve South Florida's health outcomes with improved health literacy in underserved communities. Our speakers include our Founding Director, UM Miller School of Medicine faculty and clinicians, and experienced staff in brain health research, education, and outreach. We have the capacity to provide these educational services to anyone who wants to learn more about brain health in Broward and Palm Beach Counties in English, Spanish, and Creole.
