Forget-Me-Not CST
Supporting People with
Dementia
At Forget-Me-Not Hub, we specialise in helping individuals in the early stages of dementia to delay cognitive decline through Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST).
We also support those living with those that are beginning their dementia journey.
Our therapy sessions are designed to be enjoyable, maintain confidence & promote social interaction. Multi-sensory activities are carefully chosen to stimulate and gently challenge different aspects of cognitive function* (*concentrating & thinking on a range of levels, in a range of ways) encouraging greater social engagement and mental agility.
CST is a non-physical and medication-free therapy, it is based on scientific research & relies only on individual engagement.
​
We also offer 'Cognitive Stimulation Sessions' - which involves engaging larger groups of people in targeted activities aimed at enhancing cognitive function & bringing slightly diluted but similar benefits to CST.
Despite dementia causing the breakdown of many neural pathways, CST is based on cognitive rehabilitation; learning to build new connections in the brain & maintain neuro-plasticity - keeping it supple and growing where it can. Learning new skills & asking a brain to think in new ways all contributes to increased levels of confidence, optimism, keeping socially active & living well, sustaining a fulfilling life.
We offer a range of CST based interventions, training, resources, & access to other research to provide comprehensive support for our participants.
