Workshops

Reminiscence Training Workshops are continuing education opportunities for professional caregivers to persons with Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementia. They are useful for those who intend to use Therapeutic Reminiscing in their programming and who may also train family caregivers in Reminiscing skills.

Reminiscing skills, such as the ability to create a ‘memory-friendly environment’, have been shown in the latest research to be essential in achieving the positive effects of Reminiscing in a cognitively-impaired population. These effects include decrease in depression, increase in self-esteem and ego-integrity, and decrease in disorientation.

Conference & Seminar Workshops
Taking a Revisit Reminiscing Workshop allows you to look more closely at the unique attributes that make Reminiscing an ideal communication tool for use by caregivers.

These active sessions place an emphasis on the development of practical skills that participants can use immediately. Workshops are currently available in either a 45 minute or 90 minute format.

Workshop leader for these workshops, Lorie Pierce has sought out the richest and most current resources in Reminiscing in Dementia Care including materials from training courses she recently completed at the Reminiscence Centre in London, England. Her introduction to Reminiscence Work was through the role of a family caregiver to a parent with dementia. However, having personally known three grandparents and three great-grandparents, she has felt close to the Eldercare issues and the Reminiscing process for most of her life.
