About our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Sessions
Each CST session includes a range of creative and musical activity, topical discussion, physical activity, quizzes and word & number games.
The courses can run for up to 24 weeks, followed by a special session for carers aimed at providing you with the tools and knowledge to support your loved ones with meaningful CST-based activities at home.
The sessions are FREE of charge and waiting lists may apply. Each client will be given a suitability assessment prior to the course starting to ensure they will get the full benefit from attending.
