Moving Towards Bright Futures: Maintaining Cognitive Health
The goal of this workshop is to provide attendees with up-to-date information about the relationship between protective and modifiable lifestyle factors and brain and cognitive health throughout the lifespan. This event is approved for ACCME, ACPE, ANCC, ASWB and CE - View full accreditation information in event overview.
Brain health science has exploded in the last 15 years; however, many practitioners only have a general sense of related findings and clinical applications. All neuropsychologists and allied professionals, regardless of setting or clinical populations with whom they work, can benefit from updated knowledge related to the importance of protective and modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, sleep, nutrition, intellectual activity, social engagement, stress management) on brain and cognitive health. This knowledge, in turn, can help clarify effective, evidence-based, brain-health recommendations for use in clinical practice from both a preventative and treatment perspective. This 4-hour virtual workshop is designed to inform the audience of recent advancements in brain health, with a focus on protective and modifiable lifestyle factors that promote well-being throughout the lifespan. Strategies for discussing brain and cognitive health recommendations with patients will also be emphasized.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the role of health behaviors on youth neurocognitive development.
2. List the modifiable factors (i.e., person-specific and/or secondary factors) that have the greatest impact on brain health throughout the lifespan.
3. Describe the ways in which women and men are differentially impacted by some risk and protective factors in aging.
4. Develop and design strategies for educating patients about brain health.
Target Audience: Health care providers are the primary audience, including neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, social workers, other allied health professionals, physicians (including both pediatricians and geriatricians), nurses, and others with an interest in brain health and well-being.
