The Rural Brain Health Roadshow
Healthy Brains.
Wiser Communities.
Better Futures.
Nurture Better Futures brings clear, practical and engaging brain health education to regional towns, Aboriginal communities, workplaces, sporting clubs, Men’s Sheds and community organisations throughout Western Australia.
Why it matters
Brain health knowledge should not depend on where you live
Regional and rural communities can face barriers when seeking specialist services, health education and early support. We want to help close that gap by taking useful brain health education directly into local communities.
Recognise
Build confidence recognising possible cognitive changes and knowing when to seek help.
Act
Leave with realistic actions that support healthier brains, families and communities.
The roadshow
Practical community education people can use
Our seminars are designed for general communities, Aboriginal communities, workplaces, sporting clubs, Men’s Sheds, carers, families and community organisations.
Brain health and dementia awareness
Understanding brain health, younger onset dementia, warning signs, assessment pathways and support.
Risk reduction and healthier habits
Movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, hearing, social connection, cardiovascular health, head protection and other modifiable factors.
Regional access
Taking education to towns across Western Australia with the help of local hosts, sponsors and partners.
Personal action planning
Helping each participant identify realistic next steps for their own health and circumstances.
Culturally informed education
Working alongside Aboriginal communities
Nurture Better Futures is committed to listening and collaborating so Aboriginal brain health education is respectful, useful and locally relevant.
Kerry Morrison, Aboriginal social worker, cultural supervisor and educator, is supporting the development of this work and is happy to assist with cultural guidance and community collaboration.
