Manager's Message

Brain health is the state of brain functioning across all brain domains including cognitive, sensory, social-emotional, behavioral and motor domains. Brain health allows a person to realize their full potential throughout their life, even in the presence of other disorders.

Brain health is influenced by many factors related to physical health, environment, safety and security, life-long learning and social connection as well as access to quality services.  All these things are a part of the way our brains develop, adapt and respond to stress and adversity.  Optimizing brain health by addressing these factors improves mental and physical health, leading to greater overall well-being.
