This episode explores Music Mends Minds, was founded by, Carol Rosenstein in Los Angeles, California. a grassroots program using group music, drum circles, and singing to support people with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, PTSD, stroke and other neurological conditions. Bonnie Sirower, a longtime educator, fundraiser, and Rotary member, explains how music accesses brain regions spared by disease, boosts dopamine, reduces agitation, and fosters social engagement. We cover neuroplasticity, practical session structure, instrument adaptations for limited mobility, and the power of intergenerational participation. Trish reflects on parallels with early-childhood music education and shows how simple, regular musical engagement can meaningfully improve mood, memory recall, and quality of life for elders and caregivers. https://www.musicmendsminds.org/?gad_source= Instagram: musicmendsmindsorg
