Encouraging togetherness and learning in dementia care
LIFE STORY WORKSHOP
The aim of the FREE workshops are to engage, encourage, and equip individuals to use the Life Story Book in their own context. This workshop lets you connect, share and learn from our skilled facilitator.
As a resource, the Life Story Book is designed in a pick-and-choose format to ensure complete flexibility. The different sections and prompt cards are designed to spark conversations and stories, and there is plenty of room to add photos, cuttings, and other life treasures to build a Life Story Book that is completely unique.
When you join this workshop for the first time, you will receive a free copy of the Life Story Book resource, worth £15.00. Our ‘Life Story Workshops’ are available to you for free, thanks to the generous contributions of previous attendees who recognised their value. If you find it valuable, please consider donating £5.00. By paying it forward, you're helping others benefit from the same meaningful experience. Your support ensures we can continue offering this workshop to our community.
The Life Story Book can be used in the community by individuals, couples, and families, as well in care settings. While the resource is designed especially with people living with dementia in mind, it is possible to use the resource throughout the life course.
