🎭 Brain health + performing arts? Our co-design groups with preschool parents and educators found new strategies to motivate, educate, and engage young minds.
This work has led to the deployment of an arts-based brain health program in preschools this year🌟 Huge milestone... Watch this space for updates as we evaluate its impact. 🧠✨ #BrainHealth #EarlyEducation

💭What does ‘ageing in place’ mean to you? MARCS team is grateful for the opportunity to brainstorm ideas & exchange insights with the #community. ✨More about our recent #Ageing in Place #workshop here: tinyurl.com/mvwbkfsx | #BetterFutures #AgedCare #EnablingIndependence
Super proud to share the first first-author publication by my MD student, Mitch Andrews, in collaboration with A/Prof Bobby Cheema.
Our #review identifies key #barriers and #facilitators to implementing #physicalactivity programs for residents in aged care facilities.
Snapshot of our findings:
- Barriers: understaffing, resident fatigue, lack of motivation, distrust of staff
- Facilitators: structured and tailored programs, group exercises for social interaction, frequent sessions
We provide suggestions on how these can be incorporated into future programs.
