Strategies to promote physical and mental wellness when living with a neurological health condition

The World Congress of Neurorehabilitation is pleased to present a free afternoon forum for People With Lived Experience at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  The session will also be available by videoconference.  Registration is required.  World experts will describe the latest research that has the potential to impact care for people living with neurological conditions. Our clinicians will also discuss strategies to improve physical and mental health, and to lessen the effects of aging with a chronic health condition.  People living with a neurological condition such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury may find this forum of interest.  Family and carers, and supporting non-profit organizations are also welcome.
