Brain Awareness Meeting - a great success
The meeting was a great success and delegates enjoyed presentations from researchers and clinicians, as well as from representatives from support and advocacy charities working in mental health/illness, brain tumours, brain injury and dementia.
Topics covered ranged from the cognitive and emotional consequences of a brain injury, resilience to stress, dementia and cultivating brain health.
The Brain Awareness Week iniative was first developed 20 years ago by the DANA Alliance for the Brain Initiative (DABI).
