Center for
BrainHealth's Brain Performance Institute partners with Ciber to
reach first responders in North Texas
DALLAS - Nov. 12 - The Center for BrainHealth's
Brain Performance Institute at The University of Texas at Dallas
has joined forces with Ciber to deliver its evidence-based high
performance brain training program called SMART (Strategic Memory
Advanced Reasoning Training) to first responders in North Texas. A
group from the Plano Police Department completed the program this
week.
"Our mission at the Center for BrainHealth's Brain
Performance Institute(TM) is to maximize brain performance by
providing strategies that enhance brain health, minimize stress and
improve productivity," said Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder and
chief director of the Center for BrainHealth® at The University of Texas at Dallas. "With
Ciber's generous support, we are furthering our efforts to reach as
many of the more than 50,000 law enforcement officers in Texas to
ensure they thrive both personally and professionally."
Based on more than 30 years of neuroscience
research, the SMART program focuses on the brain's intricate
frontal lobe networks that govern planning, judgment,
decision-making, problem-solving, emotional regulation and other
cognitive functions. Through the training, first responders are
equipped with strategies to achieve maximum brain performance,
minimize stress and improve productivity. Program outcome measures
with previous participants show improvement in trained areas of
cognitive performance such as attention, reasoning and innovation
as well as real-life benefits including improved organizational
skills, better mood and fewer stress symptoms.
"This is a unique opportunity for law enforcement,
and we are honored to be asked to take part in this training to
maximize brain performance," said Gregory Rushin, Chief of the
Plano Police Department.
"At Ciber, we are dedicated to serving the
communities where we work and live," said Michael Boustridge, Ciber
president and CEO. "We are happy to support the Center for
BrainHealth's life-changing work and our local first responders by
supporting this unique training program."
Since its founding in 2013, the Center for
BrainHealth's Brain Performance Institute has reached more than
50,000 individuals including military service members, veterans,
military spouses and caregivers, collegiate and professional
athletes, corporate executives, and teens in more than 15
states.
