TimeSlips Creative Storytelling
TimeSlips is... an improvisational storytelling method that replaces the pressure to remember with the freedom to imagine.
Originally designed to support growth and learning with people with dementia and their caregivers, the TimeSlips method is fun for anyone.
The TimeSlips Project aims to:
- Inspire people with dementia to hone and share the gifts of their imaginations
- Inspire others to see beyond loss to recognize the strengths of people with dementia
- Improve the quality of life of people with dementia and those who care for them
To achieve these goals, the TimeSlips Project:
- Offers training, certification, and consulting for facilitators and organizations
- Acts as a resource for those dedicated to transforming dementia care through creative engagement
