Brain Awareness 2025
National Brain Awareness Week takes place from March 10th to 16th 2025. This annual initiative is lead by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland and partners to promote greater awareness and understanding of the impact of living with a neurological condition as well as the need for investment in services, research and prevention.
The Huntington’s Disease Association of Ireland (HDAI) is a member of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland and supports #BrainAwarenessWeek2025 together with many other patient organisations and research groups.
Did you know that It is estimated that one in three of us will develop a neurological condition in our lifetime?
Brain Awareness Week provides us with an opportunity to highlight the need for investment in services for people with neurological conditions as well as promoting preventative approaches to neurological diseases. See how you can support the campaign at Brain Awareness Week | www.nai.ie
