Bryta brings brain health talks to the community

Cindy Phan delivered a brain health talk at Eltham Leisure Centre last month — and one moment stood out above the rest.

"Who here knows someone with dementia?" Every single hand in the room went up.

There was a moment of silence. People looked around at each other, almost shocked, but at the same time, not surprised at all.

That moment is exactly why community brain health talks matter. So many people say they care about their brain health. Far fewer know what to actually do about it.

What stayed with Cindy most were the conversations afterwards. People came up to say thank you, to share that they had noticed how differently they feel when they are not sleeping well, not eating well, or skipping exercise. Many already knew the right things to do. They just needed someone to confirm they were on the right track — and to fill in the gaps.

That is the whole point: giving older adults the knowledge to protect their brain health, and the confidence that they can.
