"Once again, Kristin Einberger and Janelle Sellick have provided an innovative, comprehensive and practical tool for anyone interested in providing classes in improving memory and cognitive performance. The easy to follow format includes relevant research supporting pertinent topics, along with enjoyable activities and practical suggestions for overcoming challenges and enhancing the experience. This unique contribution to the rapidly growing field of memory education and enhancement is an invaluable resource for all who want a concise guide to providing a program for their clients that is both entertaining and has the potential to improve everyday functioning." -Judy Filippoff, MSW, Early Stage Program Coordinator, Alzheimer's Association of Northern California and Northern Nevada "As
the U.S. population ages, interest in maintaining brain health is sweeping
the nation. But how do we keep our brains healthy? This manual is designed
to help staff at Adult Day Programs, Senior Centers, and other settings
create programs to assist people to preserve their cognitive skills. The
manual is a superb resource. The curriculum is well organized, clearly
written, and provides step-by-step instructions for practitioners who
are building their programs from the ground up. The volume is a successful
translation of scientific findings into meaningful, highly interesting,
and effective activities to keep mind and brain fit! The focus on individuals'
strengths, use of activities involving creativity, reliance on optimism
and humor, and emphasis on positive social interactions among participants
is especially laudable. It reflects an underlying care philosophy, subtly
woven throughout the text: the value placed on person-centered care. I
recommend this "how to" manual without reservation." "This
comprehensive and well-structured book provides education about brain
fitness while also exercising it. Grounding their material in recent research
as well as professional practice, the authors package their fun, interesting
activities into an easy-to-follow format that will be most appreciated
by program facilitators." "Kristin
Einberger and Janelle Sellick's Strengthen Your Mind provides programming
themes, ideas, and insights geared to Early Memory Loss (EML) members'
acuity and interest levels. The twelve sessions, complete with agenda,
quizzes, and answer sheets, serve as an inspiration and creative template
for program development. Adult day programs have decades of experience
to draw on for activity plan development, not so with programs for people
with early memory loss. As a Program Director of BACS Adult Day Care and
Coordinator of our brand-new Brain Boost EML program, I treasure the resources
found in this innovative work and know they will contribute to the successful
launch of our program." "This
book is written with an authentic approach to memory loss that is uplifting
and encouraging. Its helpful tools and 'road maps' for the practitioner
provide guidance for setting up community programs focused on brain health
and memory. I would certainly recommend that adult day services owners
and directors read this book as they develop and plan for brain fitness
and early onset memory loss services." "Ms.
Einberger and Ms. Sellick have provided a useful resource for all professionals
working in the aging field that wish to provide a useful tool for boosting
brain functioning in a fun and easy to use format. Their dedication and
commitment in the field of memory enhancement gives hope to all those
wishing to continue to thrive in our every day lives as we age. Congratulations
Kristin and Janelle on another fine resource. It is a pleasure to work
with you in this field."
