Preventing Dementia (2023-10) October 2023

I highly recommend "Preventing Dementia" MOOC course (free) for anyone interested in dementia or seeking to understand dementia prevention better. πŸ§ πŸ“ˆ

Last year, I took this course, and it helped me contribute to dementia awareness.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
