I am a retired social worker with a background in psychosocial oncology and visual arts. I teach art in a senior living community. The Brain Wellness Program motivates me to continue my art activities and share my knowledge and skills with an ageing population in need of activities that promote a productive lifestyle and healthy ageing. The UBC Brain Wellness Program gives me the opportunity to improve my understanding of brain health and how to apply artistic activities that promote cognitive stimulation, observation skills, sharpness of memory, social interaction and the benefits of learning something new.
