Healthy Ageing Seminar

Clinical Psychologist Julijana Chochovski and special guest Dr Claire Thompson will present this special seminar exploring how to prevent and slow dementia in this seminar titled:
“Let’s Talk About Dementia”
11am, Friday 26 May
Dementia can happen to anybody, but it is more common after the age of 65 years. People in their 40s and 50s can also have dementia and it is important to remember that not all older people get dementia.
While there is no sure way to prevent dementia, research has identified several risk factors that can be managed through lifestyle changes or appropriate medical treatments.
A diagnosis of dementia does not mean that life is over. It means that there will be challenges ahead, and thinking about those challenges now will help prepare those close to you and benefit you all in the long run.
