Sharing Stories

divider line
 

We all carry with us a unique history: our memories make us who we are. Life story work keeps those memories alive and provides a greater understanding of the person. Putting together a life story gives the opportunity to share memories, whether happy or sad. 

Switching on a Light
This new DVD on life story work will soon be available from The Dementia Services Development Centre at Stirling in Scotland. The DVD shows people talking about their life stories and provides practical advice on how to produce life story books or projects. It is primarily designed as a resource for staff who work with people with dementia but it will also be of particular interest to family carers. The DVD is accompanied by a training booklet.

To order a copy of the DVD go to www.dementia.stir.ac.uk/publications.htm
