Our mission is to improve quality of life and well-being from better cognitive function, memory, and self-esteem to reduce stress and increase social interaction through music, theater, dance, creative, writing, and other participatory arts. Three main acts of our therapy are creating artwork, reflecting on the artwork, and connecting to personal insights.
Creating artwork can help someone understand how they process their emotions. Art helps manage the complex emotions that come with memory loss. Feelings of anxiety, frustration, and sadness are common among people experiencing dementia, or Alzheimer’s, as well as the aging process.
