SH+ and Brain Gym for Seniors
SH+ is WHO’s 5-session stress management course for large groups of up to 30 people that uses pre-recorded audio and an illustrated guide to teach stress management skill. Meantime, cognitive training involves various activities aimed at maintaining or even improving cognitive functioning. The training may include exercises specifically aimed at enhancing particular cognitive skills.
ADVANCE is piloting SH+ combined with cognitive training for the first time in older adults without a migration background in Switzerland, promoting healthy aging.
