Brain health events

This virtual dialogue will examine how brain health is being framed as a public-policy concept, where the narrative is effective, and where clearer definition is needed as it overlaps with mental health, cognitive ageing and brain capital. It will also consider practical approaches to advocating for brain health in different settings. It forms part of the World Dementia Council’s year-long programme examining brain health, the science, and public-policy implementation.

The World Dementia Council hosted a dinner during UNGA to kick off a new programme exploring making public policy advances in brain health. The Council has launched a year-long series exploring how to drive public-policy advances on brain health worldwide. The dinner, one of a series of thought exchanges the Council is hosting, brought together people working in brain health from academia through to advocacy to share ideas and perspectives.
