CSA Leaders Network
Northeast Region
Welcome to the CSA Leaders Group Network – North East Chapter, a collaborative learning community committed to advancing excellence, integrity, and innovation in aging services.
Our chapter was created for CSA members who believe that education is not just a credential requirement—it is a responsibility. Each month, we curate engaging, thoughtful, and practical educational programs designed to elevate professional expertise while supporting the people and families we serve. 1CE will be given for your attendance. *YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER & ATTEND TO RECEIVE THE CE CERTIFICATE. REGISTRATION LINK BELOW.
While we are rooted in the North East, our reach is intentionally global. We warmly welcome CSA members, their clients, colleagues, and professional partners from anywhere in the country—and the world—to join us. Aging impacts us all, and meaningful progress happens when knowledge is shared across disciplines, geographies, and perspectives.
Together, we are shaping the future of aging services—through connection, collaboration, and continued learning.

ZOOM Webinar
Presenter: Piper Rose
This program explores the powerful connection between emotional well-being and heart health, highlighting how love, social bonds, purpose, and mindset directly impact cardiovascular health and longevity. Together, we’ll examine how emotional experiences are held in the body — and how intentional lifestyle practices can support both the emotional and physical heart as we age.
Key Takeaways for Professionals:
• Understanding the link between loneliness, depression, grief, and cardiac risk
• How to identify and support socially isolated or grieving clients
• Practical tools and conversation strategies to encourage holistic, heart-centered wellness
Key Takeaways for Older Adults & Families:
• Practical ways to improve heart health through movement, connection, and mindset
• Why purpose, companionship, and joy can be just as healing as medication
• How to create heart-healthy routines that nourish both body and spirit
