Memories in the Making: Alzheimer's Art Program
Memories in the Making is the signature art program of the Alzheimer's Association Orange County Chapter. For many years, Memories in the Making has been recognized locally for its ability to elevate the quality of life for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Art offers a non-verbal alternative to verbal communication through pictures. When Alzheimer's steals their words, art offers an important opportunity for the expression of memories and emotions.
Make a difference and become a trained Memories in the Making art facilitator. You can use the training to volunteer at a care facility or for your own family and your loved one with dementia. It can open the door to an opportunity to connect with a potential future in the field of long term care.
Sessions offered:
August 6, 2009 - November 5, 2009
8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
*$50 materials and manual fee applies
There are no pre-requisites for this program; trainings are open to anyone interested in learning how to use art as a communication tool for individuals with dementia and related disorders. The ideal facilitator for the program is a person familiar with Alzheimer's disease who also has an interest in art.
