CogniPro Arts & Health EML Course
Program & Certification for Organizations
For the adults you serve within your organization who are impacted or struggling with one or more cognitive impairments. This course license and creative curriculum empower you to ignite cognitive connections that will elevate your service offerings beyond redundant brain games. Start offering more than the boring memory loss worksheets, stimulate new brain connections, and expand brain plasticity with the arts.
Exercise Your Brain and Decrease Depression with the Arts
Early memory loss, mild cognitive impairment, and early onset dementia are unfortunately becoming common diagnoses for adults over 60 years of age, and even adults living without a diagnosis are fearful of cognitive impairments starting at very early ages.
CogniPro was designed as a starter course for organizations to teach others about the abilities of the brain and strategies for strengthening its functions through the arts for their clients/members.
Who CogniPro Is For
The CogniPro course license and curriculum is for organizations and their employees/volunteers who service people who are impacted or struggling with one or more cognitive impairments. It’s also for adults who are worried about their memory and simply want to do more to elevate their cognitive health.
Cognitive impairments can be temporary or they can be a diagnosed chronic condition including mild cognitive impairment, early memory loss, early onset, or undiagnosable challenges with memory, attention, reasoning, sequencing, problem-solving, or even difficulty speaking fluidly or finding the right word.

It includes content of cognitive health theory and strategies to maintain and improve cognitive skills, socialization, and opportunities for meaningful engagement and expression.

Community Orientation
A 90-minute orientation to the CogniPro program for all families, personnel, and older adult participants to support and drive interest and kick-off of the 12-week course on your campus. The orientation includes a syllabus and details of the curriculum content and engagement in a fun arts experience.
Continuous Support
CogniPro is not a cookie-cutter curriculum that we sell and walk away from. Resilia is deeply committed to your organization's success and we provide continuous support after your program's launch and implementation. After the course completion, we offer curriculum extensions and places to exhibit your community's artwork productions.
Why The Arts?
Because They Work!
The clinical and creative professionals of Resilia teach and design arts-based treatments and experiences that cultivate emotional resilience, improve cognition and sensorimotor functions, decrease depression and anxiety, and strengthen self-worth and social confidence.
Resilia’s effective mental healthcare methods use art, social and physiological health metrics, and applied psychological theory that engages the mind, body, and emotions. Our art techniques include writing, music, sculpture, masterpiece exploration, painting, legacy telling, and so much more! But don’t worry! The alternative medicine of art therapy does not require you to have training in the arts.
