Reminiscence Café

A vintage photo in a frame stands on a vintage book. In the background is an old suitcase.

The Reminiscence Café is an opportunity for people with dementia to come together and be supported by our occupational therapy staff and students.

Reminiscence therapy involves discussing events and experiences from the past and aims to evoke memories and improve wellbeing.

This group runs for two hours weekly and each session will include a variety of reminiscence activities. Light refreshments will be included.

We ask that service users attend with a care-giver, to enable peer support to also be offered to carers.

To access this service, please complete our adult referral form and email to healthwellbeingcare@essex.ac.uk and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your referral.
