Brain Food: Supporting Cognitive Health and Mood Through Food
Good nutrition is critical for both physical and cognitive health, influencing mood, memory, and decision-making by providing the brain with essential nutrients. Key nutrients such as glucose from whole foods, amino acids, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants are vital for optimal brain function, neurotransmitter production, and cellular protection. Adopting brain-friendly eating habits, like prioritizing whole foods and staying hydrated while limiting refined sugars, is fundamental for promoting mental clarity and overall well-being.
How to Create a Supportive Program for those “left behind”
Employers often focus on supporting employees on leave, but it’s equally important to create a supportive environment for those “left behind” who cover their work.

What ComPsych Director, Partner Success, Ann-Marie Hejna Thinks
I am fortunate to live close to a garden center that was built to create job training and employment for teenagers and young adults with developmental disabilities. As I was strolling through the center recently, I watched the team as they were working together, making room to put out more of the beautiful perennial and annuals available for purchase. I witnessed a customer give them a thumbs up with words of encouragement and I observed the great sense of pride and a high five as the customer walked away. As I was leaving with a car full of plants and a joyful heart, I wondered to myself, “How on earth do parents find these resources for their children and are they leveraging resources that ComPsych provides?”
Not a day goes by that I don’t come across the topic of caregiving. This article highlights the myriads of challenges that caregiving parents and guardians face when they are supporting a child (of any age) with autism. From financial, to emotional, to time away from work, the wealth of support needed is almost incomprehensible and certainly overwhelming.
ComPsych’s Autism Specialists educate and consult with parents and caregivers on diagnostic processes, treatment options, supportive services, and community resources, providing guidance in managing challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. All needs are holistically assessed for additional supports, such as social skills groups, family and sibling support groups, parent advocacy organizations, and long-term care. The resources are comprehensive, for all stages and for all ages
This service helps reduce time away from work to give caregivers peace of mind and confidence backed by experts and resources. I encourage benefits and HR professionals to remind all colleagues, including people leaders, that we are here for employees who are juggling caregiver needs, and who knows, maybe even help find a job training program in their own community, like my local garden center, if it makes sense for their growing child!
