Participant Advisory Committee welcomes everyone to the New Year

Written By Khushi Sharma

Dear BC Brain Wellness Program Participants,

Happy 2025!

 

As we welcome a brand-new year, the Participant Advisory Committee (PAC) reflects on the incredible journey we are all on together toward brain wellness in 2025.

The mission of the PAC is “to provide a participant perspective towards a comprehensive and integrated approach to brain wellness by guiding future BC Brain Wellness Program (BWP) program delivery, research, and education.” Now spearheaded by Dr. Yundi Wang, Brianna Bristow and Regan Campbell, the 2024-2025 PAC consists of 8 program participants passionate about making a meaningful difference in brain health: Chair: Sharon Roman; Catherine McCreary, Elle Darling, Howard Sussman, Dr. Kristina Sachs-Barrable, Natasha Perrault, Kerstin Lüttich and Dayna D. Wright.

 

Together we are delighted to share some reflections from our PAC members:

  • “...I hope you are delighted by your interaction with our program. We want you to benefit in many ways…” – Catherine McCreary

  • “…Participating in BC Brain Wellness is a great way to deal with challenges in a positive way...” - Kerstin Lüttich

  • “Being on the PAC has been a wonderful experience. It has allowed me to give back, in a small way, to BC Brain Wellness, as this organization has enriched my life so much.” – Howard Sussman

  • As Neale Donald Walsch said, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” So, we ask: what new Brain Wellness class will you try this year? – Natasha Perrault

As we step into the New Year, we encourage you to also reflect on your brain wellness journey as well as continue exploring new BWP classes and attend Wellness Wednesday and research seminars.

 

On behalf of the PAC, we extend our deepest gratitude to the BWP leadership team, instructors, researchers, and volunteers for their unwavering dedication to brain wellness and all the BWP participants. To our participants: thank you for investing in your health and being an integral part of our vibrant community!

 

If you have suggestions or testimonials to share, or if you’re interested in joining the PAC for the 2024-2025 year, please contact us at brain.wellness@ubc.ca

Let us embrace the opportunities of the New Year together!

 

Happy 2025!
