Brain Boot Camp

Dr Joyce Siette has been awarded a NSW Government 'My Community Project' grant for the Lane Cove electorate, called Brain Boot Camp.

Dr Siette’s research is evidence that age is not the only predictor of declining mental capacity but in fact there are many other risk factors such as social isolation, dietary choices and physical activity levels that all play a major role in our brain function. Almost 50% of dementia cases are influenced by lifestyle factors.

Brain Boot Camp will be the is a first of its kind to actively promote dementia awareness and equip older adults with the knowledge, skills and empowerment to make changes in their own lives and adopt a holistic approach to reducing their risk of dementia.

This project focuses on implementing small and realistic changes to older adults' daily routine that will improve their brain health and reduce their risk of dementia.
