Goal-Oriented Attentional Self-Regulation (GOALS)
GOALS is a manualized, therapist-administered cognitive training program that targets executive control functions of applied mindfulness-based attention regulation and goal management strategies and links them to participant-defined real-life goals. In contrast to training via practice on isolated tasks, this training protocol involves application of attention regulation skills and strategies to participant-defined goals in real life, ecologically valid settings. One of the main training aims is to improve self-regulatory control mechanisms as they contribute to goal attainment.
Brain Health Education (BHE)
BHE group is a formal in-person, active, psycho-educational, control intervention closely matched to GOALS for length, intensity, and contact with a therapist/facilitator. Topics include brain structure, function, sleep, stress, emotion and the brain.
