Women and Dementia - Rosebud Library

Next date: Monday, 19 May 2025 | 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM

Did you know that women over 65 are twice as likely as men to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s? Dementia is now the leading cause of death among Australian women, surpassing heart disease. With nearly two-thirds of Australians living with dementia being female, researchers are investigating the unique risks women face—and the proactive steps that can be taken for prevention.

Join us for this interactive workshop, where we’ll explore the latest research on female brain health, dementia prevention, and lifestyle strategies to support long-term cognitive wellness.

Through engaging discussions and hands-on activities, you'll gain insights into:

• The link between hormones, heart health, depression, and dementia
• How diet, exercise, and mindfulness impact brain function
• The role of social connections and mental stimulation in reducing risk
• Practical strategies like Chair Yoga, Qi Gong, and acupressure to support brain longevity

With memory loss no longer considered a normal part of aging, now is the time to take charge of your cognitive health. This workshop is designed to be engaging, informative, and empowering—leaving you with practical tools and knowledge to protect your brain and overall well-being.

Resources, reading lists, and take-home notes provided.

Free, bookings essential.
