Tommi Seaton and Amanda Black, recent graduates with master’s degrees in psychological sciences, are dedicated to enhancing the brain health of Indigenous elders facing cognitive challenges. Their education at Northern Arizona University has equipped them with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the unique needs of Native American communities.
With a growing concern for cognitive impairment among elders, Seaton and Black aim to implement strategies that promote mental well-being and support healthy aging. They recognize the importance of culturally sensitive approaches in their work, ensuring that the solutions they provide resonate with the values and traditions of the communities they serve.
