Wits Workout® Curriculum
Wits Workout® is a peer-reviewed, pilot-tested brain health resource designed to assist leaders who program for older adults in community settings. Based on the research that intellectual challenge and social connectedness contribute to brain health throughout life, Wits Workout has two main goals: to provide purposeful opportunities for older adults to engage intellectually and to increase their socialization through ongoing group participation.
This 264-page facilitator’s guide comprises 24 themed units, each covering a 60–90-minute face-to-face program. The length of the session can be adjusted based on the number of activities used. Sessions can be offered weekly, biweekly, or monthly and can stand alone or be presented as a series.
