Face the challenge head-on.
Help us build a humanly sustainable society that supports brain health.
To achieve the goals of the National Brain Health Program, we need your support. You and other decision-makers have significant power and opportunities to promote the creation of conditions that support brain health for everyone living in Finland.
Brain health should be considered in all decision-making. Influencing protective and preventive factors, as well as system-level and structural interventions, holds considerable human and economic potential.
How can we achieve these targets?
Practical implementation has begun through communications and training. The training we offer increases knowledge of brain wellbeing, and workshops produce skills to make changes in our own operating environments. In the future, we will need more people and new measures to achieve targets.
Build brain health with us!
The Finnish Brain Association coordinates implementation planning and the implementation itself in collaboration with its age group-specific coordination partners:
Children and young people: The Central Union for Child Welfare
People of working age: Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Tampere University of Applied Sciences
Seniors: Age Institute
Folkhälsan is involved with the children and young people component of the programme, the seniors component of the programme, and the Swedish language and Swedish-speaking Finnish culture aspects of the programme.
An extensive group of organisations and experts from various fields is required for the implementation of practical measures. We want to look after the brain health of every person living in Finland.
Looking after brain health is a collective responsibility in our society, not individual. We need you all!
Our brain is an inseparable part of us – our shared capital, that we and our society cannot live without.
That’s why we must have a humanly sustainable community that supports brain health and makes it possible to look after our brains in everyday situations.
