Throughout her over-40-year career\, Teepa has led numerous local\, regional\, national\, and international aging initiatives. In light of the growing prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia worldwide\, Teepa has partnered with countless families\, communities\, healthcare organizations\, and educational programs to address evolving needs in dementia care. Together\, Teepa and her partners have made profound impacts on the lives of people living with the disease and their myriad caregivers locally and globally. Members of the dementia care community credit Teepa’s teaching for shifting public awareness\, attitudes\, practice\, and research toward a more positive approach to care\, improving life for everyone involved. \nRegardless of her work settings\, Teepa has called this community home for over fifty years. She came to North Carolina to attend Duke University then UNC-CH. She and her husband raised their family in the Hillsborough area and now enjoy watching their grandchildren discover all our community has to offer. That is why Teepa believes Hillsborough is the perfect place for the next collaborative\, local endeavor. \nPurpose of the Foundation \nOur purpose is to inspire hope\, save lives\, and improve quality of life for people living with brain changes (caused by dementia or another brain condition) and the community as a whole. The new non-profit organization will \n\nbuild on Hillsborough’s prior progress toward becoming a “dementia friendly community” and expand the concept of “dementia friendly” to a fully inclusive community-based model\nimprove access to state-of-the-art information\, services\, and support so that all local residents may live fully in a neurodiverse community\n\nWhat is the Snow Approach? \nThe Snow Approach is a three-pronged approach to care for neurocognitive conditions: \n\nHow Human Brains Work\nChanges Likely with Neurodegenerative or Neurodiverse Conditions\nSkills to Maintain or Build POSITIVE Relationships\n\nThe Foundation’s Programs \n\n\n\nBrain Change Coalition – conversations\, consultations\, education\, engagement opportunities\, and training in the Snow Approach\nSnow Approach Award Program – For Local Professionals – additional training and formal recognition for those who wish to develop a neurodiversity-affirming practice\, along with a registry accessible to anyone seeking trained providers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Gathering Place – an open and inclusive community center and possible living space where learning happens\, purposeful engagement opportunities abound\, and people thrive with different strengths and abilities through all stages of life.\n\n\n\nOur goal is to sustain our centrally located world-class center for inclusive community living. Much like the Dementia Village model in the Netherlands\, our center strives to offer a wide range of meaningful activities and life-enriching opportunities. What’s unique about Our Gathering Place is that it is embedded in the fabric of Hillsborough\, NC and surrounding areas\, not a sequestered or isolated space. This multi-purpose setting is designed to enable individuals and their care partners to live longer and happier in the community (i.e.\, empower individuals and care partners with additional support\, increase access to life-long interests\, prevent isolation\, reduce institutional care). \nAccess to Services \nThe Foundation offers many services as a COMPLIMENTARY service to residents of Hillsborough and the surrounding area\, and some services are fee-based. The Foundation seeks donations to fund these services for anyone who is unable pay. The Foundation will establish a legacy program that will continue to benefit all people of Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, and the global community facing the challenges of neurodegeneration for the current generation and more to come.
