Head Matters 2023 - love your brain - a pixellated brain with heart overlay

Learn how to love your brain at Head Matters 2023: The Brain Charity’s open day

There'll be talks on topics including beating brain fog, sleep issues and brain injury rehabilitation

Head Matters is The Brain Charity’s annual open day, where you can find out all about how we can support you – no matter whether you are completely new to The Brain Charity or are a regular visitor. 

If you’re able to travel to our centre in Merseyside, we hope you can join us on Wednesday, 15th March, 2023. The event will open at 10.30am and close at around 3.30pm.  

This year’s theme is ‘Love your brain: feed – protect – maximise potential’. There’ll be a range of talks throughout the day on how we can look after our brains, so save the date!

Expert guest lectures include:  

  • Brain injury rehabilitation by Professor Gus Baker.  
  • Beating brain fog by Dr Sabina Brennan, neuroscientist, health psychologist, author and host of the Super Brain podcast.  
  • An exploration of sleep issues with Specialist Sleep Practitioner Helen Rutherford, from The Sleep Charity

As usual, you will have the chance to ask questions of the experts afterwards.
