As part of our commitment to support and empower people at all stages of life, 92NY is home to a strength-based program for patrons with mild to moderate cognitive impairment that honors their intellectual sophistication and previous life experiences.
They are active patrons of 92NY, successful professionals, family matriarchs and patriarchs, community leaders and our friends and family who are no longer able to engage as they once did.
To provide them with the respect and dignity they deserve, we have created a cutting-edge, strength-based program that engages the mind, body, and spirit, and provides support and guidance to both participants and their families. Each PCSA group includes in-person opportunities for thoughtful conversations, intellectual and cultural engagement, cognitive and physical exercise, and camaraderie in a safe, respectful environment.
