Executive Function – Using Brain Research to Improve Job Search Outcomes

This Executive Function (EF) resource focuses on a demonstration project in San Diego, CA, that takes the concepts of EF and applies them to a 12 week week.  The program brings together employment related coaching, healthy living workshops and guided fitness activities, in an effort to impact both employment and health outcomes.  The piece also examines where EF-informed practices could fit in to other aspects of client services.  Click below for the presentation slides.
