Abstract

What is Grey Matters? Your brain, like every other organ in your body, changes over time. Forgetfulness, for example, is a natural part of the ageing process. It’s common to experience other changes too: you might start to notice that you are finding it more difficult to come up with the right word, or losing the thread of conversations, books, and movies. Some people may experience only minor changes to their memory and thinking, while others may find that these changes are starting to interfere with their daily activities. People often come up with unique ways of managing these changes, so there is a lot we can learn from each other. Grey Matters is designed with and for people experiencing changes to their memory and thinking. It is a place where you can: • Learn about the ageing brain and how to keep your brain healthy • Explore the different strategies people use to help them through the day • Hear about the Tips, Tricks and Experiences of others that might help you
