Brain Change in The Pines: Support, Resources & Connection

You don’t have to navigate brain change alone. Whether you are living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or supporting someone you love, finding connection and support can make a difference.

The Pines Times brings together local events, support groups, educational opportunities, and community resources for people experiencing brain change and their care partners. Explore opportunities in Moore County and the surrounding Sandhills to meet others, ask questions, stay engaged, and find encouragement.

This page is for spouses, adult children, friends, caregivers, and individuals living with brain change—because everyone deserves opportunities for connection, enjoyment, and belonging.
