In Person. In this initiative for individuals with early memory loss and their families, caregivers participate in a support group to increase their coping skills. At the same time, their partners enjoy an engaging recreational program.

Caregiver Community: Led by experienced social workers, this gathering is dedicated to sharing experiences, enhancing coping skills, and providing crucial information on community resources for caregivers of individuals experiencing cognitive decline.

Participant Community: Tailored for individuals facing mild to moderate memory loss, our movement-led sessions encompass music, dance, art, and collaborative cognitive activities.
