The Mama Joe Project Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, and the most taxing illness on the American economy.

The Mama Joe Project is a movement that centers storytelling via film and media as a strategy for community outreach to support caregivers, promote healthy aging, and improve outcomes for families navigating Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Dementia is a growing public health concern, as age is the leading risk factor, and people 60 years and older is growing around the world. Through film, education, research and community outreach, this project aims to raise awareness, highlight resources, and inspire hope so that individuals and families are better positioned for healthy aging, and an improved quality of life.
