HONOLULU (HI Now) - AARP Hawai‘i invites you to a powerful seminar exploring the connection between brain health and financial decision-making, led by Dr. Duke Han, Professor of Psychology at the University of Southern California.
Dr. Han’s groundbreaking research reveals a surprising link: susceptibility to scams and poor financial decisions can happen even before the signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia appear. With scammers stealing over $1.18 billion from people in their 60s last year, protecting both your mind and your money is more urgent than ever.
At this seminar, you’ll learn:
- How brain health affects financial judgment and vulnerability to fraud.
- Steps you can take to strengthen brain health: exercise, sleep, social engagement, and stress management.
- Where to turn if you or a loved one becomes a victim of fraud, including the AARP Fraud Watch Network (877-908-3360).
- Updates on AARP Hawai‘i’s legislative efforts to combat fraud, including new protections against cryptocurrency ATM scams.
This event is part of AARP’s mission to empower Americans 50+ to live life on their own terms—stronger, smarter, and safer.
