As people age, many individuals express concerns about their memory. Research has shown that a normal part of aging includes changes to thinking - specifically processing speed and attention - both of which have impact on memory. BNBC is excited for plans to offer group based memory training based on a well researched program for everyday memory.
Overall, the goal of memory training is to improve memory and confidence in aging individuals. This is done by learning more about the normal aging process and to develop and practice strategies which have been found to support the aging process.
What: A 5-week course focused on educating and improving memory performance in the geriatric population
Where: Bayer Behavioral Health Center, 203 Hollywood Blvd NE, Ft. Walton Beach, FL (850) 226-7666
When: 9-10:30 am on Fridays from April 5 - May 3, 2024
Why: Normal aging results in changes in our overall level of functioning, including our cognitive abilities and specifically our memory. The field of dementia research is significantly focused on proactive treatment interventions targeting variables that can help sustain an individual’s cognitive abilities. The purpose of this seminar is to provide participants with information on how our memory system works, identify common areas of impairment, and learn and rehearse strategies/techniques to improve this system.
