ABOUT
Brain Health
As defined by the WHO, "Brain health is the state of brain functioning across cognitive, sensory, social-emotional, behavioural and motor domains, allowing a person to realize their full potential over the life course, irrespective of the presence or absence of disorders."
Multiple factors impact the way our brains develop, adapt and respond to stress and adversity. Therefore a multi-sectorial approaches are required to optimize brain health at both the individual and societal levels, which in addition to improved health and outcomes for patients has positive social and economic impacts that benefit and help advance society. For these approaches to be truly successful they must address brain health across the full lifespan, in the home, our schools, the workplace, health systems, and communities.
Advances in neuroscience show that many brain disorders are increasingly preventable and treatable. We now know there is tremendous opportunity for brain plasticity and brain regeneration.. Advancing our understanding of neuroscience is key to improved patient outcomes, public health, and socio-economic growth and advancement.
The potential of cutting edge innovation in brain health is unprecedented, yet to fully realize this potential, new strategies, approaches, models, policies and public-private-partnerships are essential.
MISSION
