Memory Support Programs

Periodically, Irish Community Services hosts memory enrichment programs for seniors as well as peer support groups for caregivers.

Mind Matters

For older community members who’d like to take action against memory loss, we’re hosting a new round of Mind Matters, a weekly gathering where attendees engage in activities thought to prevent or slow the development of memory loss.  This 8-week class series starts in September 2024, and takes place at the Irish American Heritage Center.
