Realizing the strength of collaboration, they began writing together and promoting their work to support other caregivers. By 2016, they launched a blog designed to gather Alzheimer&#8217;s and dementia resources in one central place. Authors from around the world were invited to share the &#8220;story behind their story,&#8221; and in the first year, more than 60 writers joined the community.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Our Mission<\/h4>\r\n<p>We are a community of authors sharing Alzheimer&#8217;s and dementia stories to guide, support, and inspire others on their caregiving journeys.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Our Vision<\/h4>\r\n<p>We seek to remove the silence and stigma surrounding Alzheimer&#8217;s and dementia, and replace them with understanding, education, and hope.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What AlzAuthors Offers<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Storytelling &amp; Blog<\/h3>\r\n<p>Our authors share the experiences behind their books, giving readers insight into their caregiving journeys.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Learn More\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/alzauthors.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"> Learn More <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3>Biweekly Podcast<\/h3>\r\n<p>This biweekly podcast features interviews with authors and caregivers offering comfort, knowledge, and encouragement.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Learn More\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/alzauthors.com\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"> Learn More <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3>YouTube Channel<\/h3>\r\n<p>Watch personal stories, interviews, and recorded events designed to support families and caregivers.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Learn More\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLhTqQchoTUPk17w5oBEmjQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"> Learn More <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3>Free Resources<\/h3>\r\n<p>Includes caregiver tip sheets, downloadable booklets, and themed collections drawn from our author library.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Learn More\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/alzauthors.com\/resources\/caregiver-tip-sheets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"> Learn More <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3>Caregiver Collections<\/h3>\r\n<p>Small curated libraries of dementia-care books available for families, communities, and care organizations.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Learn More\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/alzauthors.com\/resources\/custom-caregiver-collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"> Learn More <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2>Untangling Alzheimer&#8217;s &amp; Dementia Podcast<\/h2>\r\n<p>&#8220;Our mission is to break the silence and stigma surrounding one of the most prevalent diseases of our time,&#8221; says creator Marianne Sciucco.<\/p>\r\n<p>This podcast offers biweekly interviews with authors and caregivers who share their stories, lessons, and encouragement.
