Brain Health for Mental Wellness - Join us this winter!

Your brain, a remarkable 1.4 kg biological supercomputer, governs everything from how you think and feel to how you perform professionally. Yet in our fast-paced, always-connected world, we often neglect this vital asset.

As we navigate the darker winter months, prioritising our mental wellness becomes even more crucial. The ACS Tasmania Branch is excited to invite you to our annual wellbeing morning tea at Drysdale House on Fri June 20th.

Featured Speakers:

Dr. Rebecca Chabot, PhD Chabot (Wellness Tasmania) will share evidence-based brain health research, connecting mental wellness to brain function. Discover practical strategies to enhance cognitive performance, manage stress, and build resilience through simple, effective habits that fit your busy lifestyle.

As a Wellbeing Support Peer and practitioner of 'People First Leadership' with Tas Police, Andy champions exercise and movement for mental health, organising community running and walking groups that foster both physical and mental fitness.
