Fit Minds Life Changing Mental Stimulation

Ohhh Hi Ohhh! Oh, how I do admire the amazing activity professionals I met at the Ohio Health Care Association conference. Resilient. Remarkable. Reliable. Reenergizing. Most of them have spent their lifetime supporting seniors. And for the last two years, every day they rose to the challenge of supporting seniors during COVID. It was such an honor to have been asked to speak with them about the impact of cognitive stimulation.

Arielle Gainsburg Meyer, OTR/L is an accomplished Occupational Therapist who will be supporting seniors and senior living communities as a Fit Minds Certified Cognitive Coach. We are delighted so many health professionals, CNAs, SLPs, CTRS and Activity Professionals are adding Fit Minds cognitive coach certification to their list of credentials. Just as we need people who know how to support our bodies to stay fit, so too do we need people who know how to help keep our brains fit.

Celebrating my Canadian friend, Nicole R. Scheidl, who developed Fit Minds in 2010 and graciously supported me in bringing it to Activity Professionals in the US. Globally, cognitive stimulation has long been respected as an effective intervention to delay the advancement of dementia. Years ago, Alzheimer's Disease International concluded that cognitive stimulation had the strongest evidence by far for cognitive benefits in dementia. If you live in the UK, their National Health Guidelines call for people with a diagnosis of dementia to receive group cognitive stimulation. Honoring all of the Canadian and US Activity Professionals who lead Fit Minds’ one-on-one and group cognitive stimulation sessions. At Fit Minds, we celebrate Activity Professionals all year long!
