Brain Health & Dementia
An Educational and Networking Event
TDRA's Brain Health & Dementia event took place on May 2, 2024 at the Centre for Addiction & Mental Health (CAMH), from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM. The event was for people living with dementia, care partners, and anyone interested in brain health.
TDRA's event featured eight highly interactive, expert speakers, presenting in plain language. Topics focused on dementia and keeping your brain healthy, including modifiable dementia risk factors and associated lifestyle and behaviour tips. TDRA is a coalition among the University of Toronto and six affiliated academic hospitals. The event featured speakers from every TDRA institution.
With a lively question and answer period following each presentation, this event was attended by over 105 members of the public. Over lunch, attendees were able to interact with clinical, research or educational representatives from all TDRA member hospitals and the Alzheimer Society of Toronto, who each hosted an exhibit table.
