What is Reminiscence?.............................
Reminiscence work or therapy is excellent at developing well-being in people. It is an enjoyable experience, It brings people together to discuss a memory or memories of events that have been shared by those participating. Holidays, work, family, the war, festivals and the seasons, are some of the themes that can be used to reminisce.
All memories are assisted by the five senses. Touch smell, taste, sound and sight.
Our Resource Library consists of trigger boxes which are full of items that use the five senses to promote memory recall and the enjoyment of discovering something from your past that had not been seen for a long time.
We also have extensive film, audio and books that can be borrowed.
