Educational and Facilitation Disclaimer | 教育及課程帶領免責聲明

This Leader Guide is intended to support facilitators in delivering the Brain Health Education Program for educational and informational purposes.

The materials in this guide are not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized clinical recommendations. The program does not replace consultation or care from qualified healthcare professionals.

Facilitators should present the material as general education and should not diagnose participants, interpret symptoms, recommend changes to medications or treatment, or provide individualized medical advice unless they are appropriately licensed and acting within their professional scope of practice.

Brain health is influenced by many factors, and individual circumstances vary. Strategies discussed in the program may support overall health and well-being, but they cannot guarantee the prevention of dementia, cognitive impairment, or other health conditions.

If a participant raises concerns about memory, thinking, mood, physical health, medications, or another medical issue, facilitators should encourage the participant to consult an appropriate qualified healthcare professional. In an emergency, participants should be directed to local emergency services.

Facilitators should use professional judgment and follow the policies, safeguarding procedures, and referral practices of their own organization or delivery site.
