BCBWP End of Year Message and 2024/2025 Annual Report

Dear BC Brain Wellness community,

As we share our Annual Report 2024/2025 with you, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our participants, instructors, staff, students, and all the generous supporters of the BC Brain Wellness Program. Your dedication and hard work have made a significant impact on our community and have been instrumental in our mission to provide ongoing support for individuals living with chronic brain conditions, their care partners, and healthy agers. We strive to implement a proactive, empowering approach to brain health and well-being with prevention at every step. Your contributions have helped us move closer to this vision, and for that, I am truly thankful.

Our program also aims to inspire and train the next generation of healthcare professionals and it has been heartwarming to see many of our students choose careers in healthcare and witness them growing into tomorrow’s leaders. This growth often happens in the context of intergenerational collaborations and I am sure you will enjoy reading these stories as much as I do.

To maintain and enhance our support for the community, we are committed to pursuing long-term partnerships that will ensure the sustainability of our program.

As we celebrate the achievements of this past year, I wish you all a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with peace, health, and success. Thank you once again for being such a valuable part of the BC Brain Wellness Program.

Warm regards,

Silke Appel-Cresswell

Director, BC Brain Wellness Program
