'Super Noggin' It in Greenwich

The Commission on Aging, in cooperation with the Greenwich Senior Center is focusing on Brain Health in 2015 and is introducing “Super Noggin” to the community.

‘Super Noggin’ is a comprehensive program offering a multi-faceted approach to learn and practice brain-healthy habits and track individual progress. ‘Super Noggin’ includes educational and motivational workshops; brain exercises to stimulate cognitive functions, a year’s worth of activities to encourage on-going participation, and tracking individual progress in making healthy lifestyle choices.

Components of the program promote cognitive challenges, physical exercise, good nutrition, social interaction, stress reduction and self-reflection. Through a series of small group educational workshops ‘Super Noggin’ educates about the lifestyle behaviors that contribute to brain health, builds in social interaction and mentally stimulating activities, and creates an environment where science meets fun.

This evidence based educational initiative is slated to launch in April at the Senior Center and Greenwich Library.

All facilitators have been trained and certified to teach this engaging life enhancement program.

Classes are limited to 15 participants. Cost for the 12-week session is $20 and includes workbook, handouts, guest speakers, and social events.

The spring session will begin at the Senior Center on Thurs April 16, and Fri April 17 at the Greenwich Library. Classes will be from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
