How We Do CST

Forget-Me-Not hub's Approach

We bring together the non medical, evidence based therapies under one roof: 

• Reality Orientation

• Reminiscence Therapy

• Cognitive Rehab

• Validation Therapy

• Multi Sensory Stimulation

​​

Our approach to offering CST is rooted in kindness, validation, positivity, optimism and fun. Each session will be  interesting, fun and engrossing.

For continuity, comfort and familiarity, each time a group meets, somethings will stay the same:

• faces

• refreshments

• setting

• greeting music

• & format  

but - 

for interest, some things will be different:

• theme

• artefacts

• sensory stimulus

• activities [*]

[*To inspire beneficiaries to share their thoughts, opinions and feelings around the themes, activities will differ - unless popular and relevant to the week - we can adapt that to meet the wishes and needs of each group] 

Activities may include:

• word or physical games

• quizzes (non factual)

• challenges - timed or otherwise

• discussions around artefacts and personal connections to themes

• singing

• chatting

• debating

• laughing​

Everyone's contributions will be heard & valued when offered, gently &  respectfully encouraged if not offered - connecting via engagement  is the key.​​​​
