Once again the @WHO ignores the 7th leading cause of death in the world -#dementia - when talking risk factors. So sad, so narrow minded, perhaps also a tad ageist? So many countries I have been to where dementia is left out of risk factors campaigns. This is where it all starts

Excited for the opportunity to chat with Dr. Wilkinson on BrainShape about the importance of staying active. Key to optimizing maintenance of function and cognition in older adults. You don't have to start with big steps, but go ahead and start! #BrainShapePodcast @BrainShapeTO

"Intergenerational trauma involves what happened in the past, but also what's happening in the present and what will continue to happen in the future. A legacy of trauma forms in which a community continues to experience distress over generations."
