Is the HABIT program or something similar available online?

Posted by susanejw @susanejw, 3 days ago

I live far from a MAYO campuses, but would love to attend a HABIT program. Is it now available online? If not, can you recommend websites or YouTube videos that might have cognitive games or yoga or how to adapt to memory problems?
Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

@susanejw, you may wish to contact the HABIT program here: HABITPROGRAM@mayo.edu
They have run the program virtually in the past and have expanded the program outside of Mayo Clinic to locations like Las Vegas and other areas. Please contact them for the most up-to-date information.

On the MCI blog, the directors of the HABIT program have uploaded quite a few resources that you can do from home. For example, here is an 8-part resiliencyroad map series. After the introduction to the series and you can work your way through the other pieces of the roadmap (recognizing your personal signs of stress, recognizing situational factors that cause stress, identifying positive coping techniques you already use, learning diaphragmatic breathing, learning other formal relaxation techniques, cultivating helpful and healthy thinking patterns, and giving attention to positive emotions) and then the wrap up.
