Program for Cognitive Strength and Ability

Program Details

PCSA is a highly personalized program. Prospective participants are screened in-person by a licensed social worker to ensure optimal placement in PCSA’s groups of cohorts and salons. Groups are individually tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of their participants, with a focus on cognitive stimulation, enrichment, and engagement.

Sessions are led by licensed social workers and a highly skilled staff of physical therapists, educators, and allied professions, and include:

• Facilitated discussions on current events, history, and life experience
• Fitness and movement classes to build balance, stability, strength, and brain health
• Engagement in the arts through live music performances, poetry, drama, art history, and more, with educators, lecturers, and performers from leading NYC cultural institutions
