On this page we will post announcements from time to time that are appropriate and specific to the Brain Fitness class and our curriculum. If you know of a brain health event, virtual or in person, please let us know. However, please understand that we are unable to post everything happening in the community and may not post everything sent to us. Thank you!
Meditation and mindfulness have been shown to help people stress less, focus more, and sleep soundly. And when you think about brain health, a stress free, focused brain is a healthy brain. Headspace is a mobile app designed to promote mental health through meditation and mindfulness. It includes features like guided meditations, sleep aids (sleep sounds and calming music), mental health coaching and mindful movement. You can learn more about Headspace here. Although it is a subscription app that you normally pay for, SDCCD has partnered with Headspace to provide free access to all faculty and students. You will first have to sign up for it on the headspace website by going to this page. Follow the online instructions to create a new account, then sign in with your name and your student email address and set up a password. You will be sent a verification to your student email. Make sure and click on it to activate your account. You will then return to the page and begin. For best results, download the Headspace app on either Apple App store or the Google Play store.
