Walk down Memory Lane with your loved one! In this workshop, caregivers will learn how to use family history as a calming, grounding tool for those in their care. Research in memory care and psychology has shown that reminiscence therapy—the practice of recalling past experiences—can have powerful benefits for individuals with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other memory concerns as well as those who are simply embracing the natural changes of aging.

We will be creating personalized projects. Please, bring pictures, stories, and any other documents that you might want to include. Basic computer skills are required. Reach out if you need more information.
