Head along to the next Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) & Dementia Awareness Expo at Hornsby RSL Club on 24 July 2024.
Learn about 'safe sport' and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) from experts in their field, Dr Rowena Mobbs from Macquarie University and Dr Suraj Samtani from University of NSW.
The presenters will talk about the connection between repetitive head trauma, in particular concussions in sports, and the development of CTE. They will provide insights into the latest research findings, risk factors, and preventive measures to reduce the incidence of CTE. The talks will also address concussion management protocols and player safety initiatives.
Other forms of dementia will also be discussed, with suggestions for reducing the risk of all dementias.
Many local organisations and service providers that support people with a dementia diagnosis and their families and carers will be on hand to chat about your needs and how they can help.
Light refreshments will be available throughout the evening and all ages are welcome!
The CTE & Dementia Awareness Expo has been made possible with help from KNC Care and the Ku-ring-gai Dementia Alliance, and with funding from NSW Department of Communities and Justice.
