Native Brain Health and Dementia Risk Reduction Toolkit

An American Indian and Alaska Native media resource guide for members of the community, public health professionals, and leaders working towards Brain Health Awareness.

The International Association for Indigenous Aging (IA²) created the Native Brain Health and Dementia Risk Reduction Social Media Toolkit to raise awareness of dementia risk reduction and brain health in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. IA²’s goal is to engage community members, public health professionals, and community leaders.

The toolkit includes culturally tailored sample social media messages for AI/AN communities. Also included within the toolkit is a calendar of health-related awareness dates and several hashtags (see below) that can be used within messages on desired social media platforms. The messages can easily be copied and pasted into the social media platform or can be personalized to your community.
