Here is some basic information about the program:

 

StrongerMemory participant David D. describes the StrongerMemory Brain Exercise Program this way:
          “As we get older our memory may decrease.  The prefrontal Cortex section
            of the brain where memory exist needs exercising as well as the rest of our
            body. Stronger Memory training consists of daily 30 minutes exercises of
            simple math, writing, and reading out loud. In addition, there is a one hour
            weekly small group meeting consisting of approx. 6 – 10 participants that
            provide support for each other after working together building non-
            threatening trust relationships which is paramount for communication
            risk taking. Sharing of personal experiences of the past, including doing
            the exercises, helps strengthen memory. The group has fun during the
            weekly exchanges.”
