Description
Brain health refers to the ability of remembering, learning, playing, concentrating and maintaining a clear, active mind. It is being able to draw on the strengths of one’s brain, such as information management, logic, judgement, perspective taking, and wisdom. This course will review the six pillars of brain health and its impact on the individual’s lifestyle: physical exercise, food & nutrition, medical health, sleep & relaxation, mental fitness, and social interaction. Upon completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to apply prosocial behavior modeling, intervention, and appropriate response to community members experiencing a brain health distress.
