Social-Based Brain Training Programs and Courses for Professionals in Active Aging and Fitness Settings
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Total Brain Health courses teach how we can adapt lifestyle habits to sharpen daily intellectual performance, reduce dementia risk and improve brain vitality. The classes follow our TBH BLUEPRINT, which is used as an organizational touchpoint throughout the program. The course offers:
Continuous Delivery. Developed for continuous, ongoing delivery across your calendar, Total Brain Health classes include uniquely designed training exercises that are repeatable and provide different student experiences each time they are taught.
Flexible Class Times. Our building block class design gives you the option of shorter class times. Skip the opening or closing warmups to deliver an “express” class when it better suits your calendar or client needs. Use the suggested times found for each class section to “build” a class that suits your available time slot. Keep in mind that these times may vary based on your class size or student participation, and that you can limit or extend the time for any section as you need. For express 5-minute workouts you can add to your calendar anytime, anywhere, you may also use the TBH Brain Plays found in each class and posted separately in your toolkit along with take-home worksheets.
Flexible Class Sizes. The recommended class size is 10 to 15 people, especially as you first begin teaching the program. You can run the course with as few as 6 or as many as 20 participants, allowing you to accommodate attendance numbers that may vary week to week. Our program adapts well to smaller group sizes that may be needed for physical distancing when holding classes in person.
Flexible Delivery Models so you can teach in-person small groups, provide hallway training using the printable worksheets and handouts, or offer online coaching with video conferencing technology. You can even teach hybrid classes using a combination of delivery options at the same time. Everything stays social with students interacting together wherever their location.
Each Total Brain Health 1-hour class includes the following materials:
