Lead author Jennifer Zientz, MS, CCC-SLP, director of programs and head of clinical services at Center for BrainHealth, stated, “These results validate the importance of proactive, capacity-building training on brain health and mood. Notably, this improvement was achieved during the uncertainty of post-COVID work practices. Organization-wide trainings that benefit an individual’s growth and capacity-building may become a standard practice in the workplace of the future.”
