Reminiscences Bulletin

This bulletin from CWPT Libraries which features a selection of archive films freely available online on a variety of subjects.

Reminiscence therapy is the practice of using physical prompts such as photographs, film footage, props, furniture and music to help improve mood, cognition and psychological wellbeing. Because those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s will increasingly struggle with their short term memory, it’s thought that evoking past memories of happy times and places help elevate people’s moods and create a feeling of belonging and safety. Nostalgia spaces help bring about comfort.
