Designed for family members, friends, and professional social and healthcare workers, this free workshop will introduce techniques for engaging individuals living with dementia in discussion about art, personal objects, and the natural world. Strategies will be taught for encouraging participation, asking questions that inspire response, offering neutral rephrasing of comments to build discussion, and creating unique opportunities to look at art wherever you might be.

Together we will work to build skills for facilitating enriching, meaningful connections with art, whether you are in an art gallery, at home, or out in nature.
