Reminiscence Therapy

Reminiscence therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention for dementia. It involves using moments of the past and sensory prompts to evoke memories in the present.

Research on reminiscence therapy has shown that the practice can have a positive impact on stimulating brain activity in a person living with dementia. It can be effective in managing cognitive symptoms such as reducing agitation and depressive symptoms.

The ForgetMeNot App provides a simple means for families and carers to practice reminiscence therapy with their loved ones, a practice that has shown to have proven benefits for a person with dementia.
