Brain Health
At Northeast Iowa Community College, we believe that brain health plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Recent insights highlight that 22% of employers in our area recognize brain health as a significant personal challenge for their workforce.* We are committed to empowering our communities by enhancing brain health education and resources. Over the years, we have brought high-caliber speakers such as Sean Astin, Glennon Doyle and Cy Wakeman to the region with valuable and actionable insights on brain health topics.
In collaboration with NAMI Dubuque, we are excited to offer training opportunities that actively work to destigmatize brain health. These sessions provide practical, hands-on tools and information that foster a supportive and informed workplace environment.
Throughout the year and during our annual Brain Health Summit, we cover essential areas such as mental health first aid, emotional awareness in the workplace, stress management and strategies for promoting brain health during challenging times. Burnout remains a pressing issue, and prioritizing brain health in our workplaces is more critical than ever. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future for our communities.
