Restorying Lives: Creative Stories for Persons Living with Dementia

Project title

Restorying Lives: Creative Stories for Persons Living with Dementia

Description of initiative

The project introduces people with dementia living in the community to creative storytelling, in a bid to stimulate memory, reduce social isolation, and empower caregivers to support their family members using creative skills.
The project equips participants with key creative skills, providing an enjoyable space for self-expression, validation and prioritisation on the participants' own terms. Play, in particular, is being used on account of its ability to explore expressional potential, meaning-making and relationship building.
