When it comes to boosting your brainpower with games, there isn’t any one type that’s the best to try. There are great board games, puzzles, riddles, and even video games that can help you get that brainpower flowing and sharpen things like math and word skills and help boost logical thinking.

The important thing is to play something that you find fun and challenging. Exercising your brain is as important for your Mental health as exercising your body, and it may keep your brain sharp and protect you from memory problems later in life.

Semaphore Olympics – “New Challenges for Mental Wellness” Day is for Young Veterans’ / Current Serving ADF Personnel, Older Veterans, Local Community  and their Families to come and try new games like Carpet Bowls, Snooker, Darts, 8-Ball, Board Games, Puzzles. Lunch, Tea Coffee, Refreshments will be available as well as Raffles  / Veterans Mental Health information / Displays

The Event is an opportunity to raise awareness of, and encourage participation in, activities and game that promote and maintain mental health and wellbeing of our veterans, war widows, widowers, current and ex-Australian Defence Force members and their families.

Veteran’s will be able to connect with the local Community and other Veteran’s to help influence the health and wellbeing of themselves and their friends.
