TimeSlips is a creative storytelling method, originally designed to be used with people with dementia and their caregivers.
The TimeSlips Project aims to:
* inspire people with dementia to hone and share the gifts of their imaginations;
* inspire others to see beyond the loss and to recognize the strengths of people with dementia;
* improve the quality of life of people with dementia and those who care for them.
To achieve these goals, the TimeSlips Project:
* offers trainings to certify facilitators in the TimeSlips method;
* works to build the field of creative expression in dementia care by fostering research and partnerships between artists and professional organizations.
* acts as a resource for those dedicated to changing the way we approach dementia care.
The TimeSlips storytelling method provides your facility with countless inventive and magical tales that attest to the human spirit of those with dementia.
Our outreach models provide ways for dementia care programs to use the stories that emerge in workshops to raise public awareness about the creative potential of people with dementia encourage volunteerism increase awareness of your program or organization.
