This presentation will alert us as therapists to signs that a person may be considering suicide.

Participants learn to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and to respond in ways that link them with further suicide intervention help.

1.30pm. Dr Helena Popovic - Boost Your Brain and Defy Dementia: -   Practical Applications of                                                Neuroplasticity:

This presentation distils the essence of the neuroplasticity revolution and gives immediately implementable, practical suggestions to improve the functioning of the brain. By applying this knowledge, we can: tap into brain potential we never knew we had, sharpen our thinking, improve our concentration and memory – at any age, expand our creativity, increase our capacity for learning and problem solving, reduce our risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders and Alzheimer’s disease, prevent the cognitive decline we’ve mistakenly believed was inevitable with ageing, perform at our peak on a daily basis, achieve far more than we ever thought possible

 

Dr Helena Popovic MBBS is a medical doctor and specialist in how to improve brain function and how our lifestyles impact our health and performance.  She graduated from the University of Sydney in 1995 and is the founder and CEO of Choose Health – Better Living for Busy People, a company built on the dual philosophy that education is more powerful than medication, and behavioural change is the path to better health.  Helena is passionate about showing corporations, businesses and individuals the Neuroscience of Success and empowering people to Live Longer, Stronger, Healthier and Happier.

 

Helena is the author of the inspiring book In Search of My Father – Dementia is no match for a daughter’s determination.   A warm and humorous account of how adventure beats dementia, her book shows the steps we can take to defy dementia, prevent the cognitive decline we’ve mistakenly believed was inevitable with ageing, and improve brain performance at any age and stage of life. She will have her books available for purchase.
