Structured Day & Evening Programs
The structured day and evening programs are designed for individuals who are over the age of 18 and who have suffered a brain injury or other neurological challenge.
Participants attend the day program Monday to Friday from 8 am to 3 pm, with optional evening programs until 8:30 pm and weekend pop-up outings. During these programs, participants are provided with the opportunity to cultivate and refine essential skills that enhance independence, socialization, and cognitive functioning. These are achieved through various activities including community outings, games, discussion groups, creative expression groups and more! We pride ourselves in maintaining a participant-led program, where we welcome suggestions, ideas and requests from our members for future activities and events.
Some recurring activities in the center include:
Hochstein Music Therapy
Nazareth Art Therapy
Nutrition Group with a Registered Dietitian
Roc Dog Therapy
Yoga
Alex’s Spanish Group
TBI Support Group
