Bright Minds, Brilliant Life

Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. That’s what BrightMinds^™ does. It’s an innovative program developed by ARV that aims to help you strengthen and maintain your memory and cognitive skills.

It does this using a holistic approach that encompasses diet and nutrition, physical exercise, social, emotional and spiritual support, mental stimulation and medical advice.

BrightMinds™ staff are specially trained to work with people experiencing cognitive changes. They work with you in a relaxed environment, aiming to develop a supportive relationship using evidence based techniques. The program’s spectrum of support is broad - from those still bright and active to those who are experiencing significant cognitive impairment - and importantly it’s also designed to help partners, carers and families.

BrightMinds™ aims to raise the awareness of cognitive impairment issues and at the same time proactively reduce their risk factors. It provides support for those undergoing cognitive change while increasing the acceptance of those within our community who are undergoing changes that can lead to memory impairment.

The BrightMinds Memory Enhancement Centres

The BrightMinds™ Centres offer health and memory assessments, carer and family information, practical everyday advice, information on treatments, cognitive enhancement programs, social network facilitation, Christian support, links to services and support and referrals to specialist services.

BrightMinds™ is a free service available to all residents and community clients of ARV.
