Vicki Bryan will present a workshop on using personal stories and memories as a healing tool, particularly with senior adults. She writes, "Reminiscence exercises are used in senior centers and residential facilities with varying success. Though well-meaning, often they cause stress for elders who struggle with loss and memory issues. This session will discuss how the creative use storytelling as a reminiscence tool can be psychologically and sociologically beneficial. In addition, tips for engaging senior audiences will be shared."
