Galloway, N.J. - The Stockton Center on Successful Aging is sponsoring a free workshop titled “Let Your Imagination Soar – Start Telling Stories” for older adults at the Hammonton Canoe Club Senior Center, 100 Sports Drive, Hammonton, N.J. on Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 11 a.m. – noon. Older adults from the community are invited to attend.

TimeSlips is an innovative storytelling intervention that replaces the pressure to remember with the freedom to imagine. Join Megan K. Foti, assistant professor of Occupational Therapy at Stockton University, to discover the science and practical impact of this powerful tool that uses visual cues to tell stories.

Used by families and health care professionals, TimeSlips provides everyone with an opportunity to engage in storytelling in a joyful and fun way. When memory loss separates us from people we love, the emotional, symbolic language of the imagination can bring us back together.

No registration is necessary.
