WELCOME: GLOBAL BHP BRAINTRUST
A Message from Andrea Pfeifer, Chair of the Global BHP BrainTrust
The global environment for mental health is changing rapidly, bringing trauma to the forefront of societal concerns. Previously, we have shared the importance of preserving our brain and mental health to prevent cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. This month’s Global-US BrainTrust Quarterly Dialogue focused on trauma caused by external environmental and political events that are not in our control, but still have a significant impact on our brain and mental health. Both the long-term traumatic impact of Covid and the recent displacement of millions of Ukrainians has made this discussion timelier than ever and a dialogue worth sharing.
