In today’s “Psychology Behind the Headlines,” hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest therapist Joann ‘JoJo’ Venant discuss a recent study suggesting air pollution may increase your risk of developing dementia.

Our Health is Interconnected
We need to care for our environment, understanding the impacts it has on both our bodies and brains.
What Can We Do?
Support initiatives for cleaner air and reducing pollution sources. While more research is needed, these findings are a reminder of the importance of protecting our environmental health.
