Free social programs for individuals with mild to moderate memory problems


Minds in Motion program is now up and running!

The Cleveland Area Chapter is proud to announce a new social engagement program designed specifically to serve those with mild to moderate memory and thinking disorders and their loved ones. The goal of the program is to provide participants with social engagement opportunities that enrich the mind, body, and soul in a comfortable social setting. 

The free programs will be held the first Thursday afternoon of each month from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. in the Beachwood office.  Planned activities include painting, yoga, simple recipes, mini gardening and brain fitness programs. 

The program will be led by Early-Stage Specialist, Taylor Young, LSW, MSSA, who coordinates the engagement programming and leads the Early-Stage Education and Support Groups in Northeast Ohio. Volunteer guest facilitators who are trained professionals will run the activities.

Individuals living with a memory and thinking disorder must be accompanied by an adult family member or friend and be willing to participate in the group program. Although the program is offered free of charge, participants are asked to consider a donation of $10 per session in support of the chapter’s engagement services. Space is limited and registration is required.
