1. Introduction To Reminiscence and Life Story Work  – 2-day course

This course aims to give participants the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver purposeful reminiscence work with individuals, couples and small groups.

The course involves attendance at 2 full-day training sessions. The first day of training provides an overview of reminiscence work and introduces the basics in relation to planning and structuring reminiscence activity, the use of multi-sensory triggers and producing practice plans.

 Between the first and second days training, participants are tasked with planning and delivering a small piece of reminiscence work with either an individual, couple or small group. During the second day, participants explore common problems, issues, solutions and learning processes. Guidance will also be given on working with specific client groups, such as people with dementia, intergenerational projects etc. depending on identified interests.
