GrandS-tand
Our club respects the life and experiences of our dear elderly and commits to helping as many as we can to maintain good mental health.
We model our programming with reminiscence therapy in mind. Reminiscence therapy is a proven method and beneficial approach to helping the elderly age happily. Our objective is to have all the elderly, and those involved with a program, to feel a sense of overall life satisfaction and walk away with real-life coping skills associated with aging.
Reminiscence is defined by the American Psychological Association (APA) as "the use of life histories - written, oral, or both - to improve psychological well-being. The therapy is often used with older people."
We produce programs and online forums for our dear elderly to be enriched in their lives as individuals, partners and grandparents.
