This week (March 14-20) is Brain Awareness Week!
For more information on brain awareness and the brain itself for people of all ages, visit The Dana Foundation website.
Balance Awareness Week
“Balance Awareness Week exists to shine a light on ‘invisible’ balance disorders. When everyone is more aware, we can better understand the vestibular experience and be empathetic to those who need our support—family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors."
- VeDA, Vestibular Disorders Association, 2021
