Free seminar on Healthy Brain Ageing

Alzheimer's Australia NSW will present the free seminar Healthy Brain Ageing at Peninsula Community Centre on Wednesday, April 27.

The seminar will address the myths surrounding dementia and provide information about normal ageing and memory loss.

The seminar is suitable for anyone interested in learning five steps to maximise brain health and how to reduce risk of developing dementia.

Alzheimer's Australia NSW also invites locals to visit its Memory Van, a mobile information service with helpful resources about memory concerns, dementia and information including the steps to maintain brain health.

Coast Community Connections Acting CEO Ms Di Spragg said the visit would prove useful to anybody interested in brain health.

Ms Spragg said: "One concerning statistic is that on average, symptoms of dementia are normally noticed by families three years before a firm diagnosis is made.

"It's important that we recognise warning signs and risk factors to look out for so that we can reduce the risk of developing dementia."

Those interested in attending can register at (02) 8875 4682.
