Publications include Sleep and Brain Health, Chronic stress: Neuroscience and practical coping strategies, Dementia in Africa, and 7 Steps for Igniting the Brain Capital Industrial Strategy.
Community Engagement and Educational Initiatives
Dr. Kirti hosts a regular mental wellness walkabout @Origins Centre Wits. Topics have included music, art, mindfulness, ecosystems for health, nature, understanding dementia, silence, nutrition, improving brain performance, grief & healing, and more. She also hosts the Brain Health Perspectives series of webinars in partnership with the University of Witwatersrand. She has co-organised, with the Atlantic Institute, a Brain Health Perspectives convening in Johannesburg that centred Pan-African voices in the global vision to support brain health.
‘The brain has an incredible potential beyond what we can imagine. You can train your brain with the right tools, experiences, resources, with focus, determination and regular practice.’

Transcending Global Health Dogma
Global (and local) health-care systems must embrace people who are often ignored, their words, and their thought systems, in theory, method, and intervention.
Sleep & Brain Health
Sleep may be one of the simplest measures we can use to improve health. This is becoming more important as insomnia and other sleep disorders are increasing globally.
