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.
