Mental Health Comes from the Brain

Mental health is more than emotional well-being or the absence of symptoms. When we give the brain what it needs, we support mental health and provide a proactive foundation for resilience, purpose, connection and thriving.
Launched in September 2026, Center for BrainHealth's Mental Health Resources & Community Support webpage offers evidence-informed tools that help individuals, families, educators, mentors and organizations support lifelong well-being and flourishing.

Inspire your team to leverage simple, daily opportunities to reset and recharge by designating break rooms and rest areas as brain break zones.

Take Steps to Increase Brain Breaks

There are so many easy-to-adopt ways to incorporate brain breaks into your routines – from designating stations to distributing educational materials, and more. Hanging a poster at your favorite spot is an aesthetically pleasing reminder to prioritize brain health.
Beyond shaping individual habits, brain breaks also shape organizational culture – helping to increase accountability, communication and happiness for individuals, families and organizations.

Ways to Boost Brain Breaks:

  1. Mark prime spots for brain breaks – inspire your team to leverage simple, daily opportunities to reset and recharge by designating break rooms and rest areas as brain break zones.
  2. Prescribe brain breaks – give your team explicit permission to recharge with brain breaks
  3. Share the science behind the benefits – distribute "7 Science-Backed, Guilt-Free Reasons to Take a Brain Break” with everything your team needs to know about brain breaks.
