Home Base: Brain Health Summit 2024
Home Base Brain Health Summit - September 11-12, 2024
The Home Base Brain Health Summit is a live, interactive, hybrid two-day conference at MGH Institute for Health Professions located at 1 Constitution Wharf in the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts.
There will also be a free virtual livestream of the conference available if you cannot attend in person.
The Inaugural Home Base Annual Brain Health Summit examines the latest research and treatment innovations in military Special Operations Forces, veterans, and families suffering from the invisible wounds of war. In recognition of the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program will provide comprehensive insights crucial for the holistic well-being of warriors throughout the lifespan. It will share updates in the Home Base Intensive Clinical Program with mass dose evidence-based therapy, Families of the Fallen, Children of the Fallen, and Native American cohorts.
The Brain Health Summit offers in-depth information on Brain Health, Resiliency, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Machine Learning. In every session, faculty will share lessons learned in current training, human performance, data from new clinical trials, and compare it to existing data to examine key differences.
The 2024 Brain Health Summit has been made by possible by generous sponsorship from the American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF) and support from the Wounded Warrior Project.
