Organise themed sessions around specific decades, cultural events, or personal milestones to evoke memories.
-
Encourage family members to participate or contribute personal stories and items that could resonate with the residents.
-
Train volunteers or staff on how to effectively facilitate these sessions, focusing on sensitivity and engagement.

Create platforms or sessions where residents can share their own stories and experiences.
