Memory and Aging Group Therapy for Older Adults

Problems with everyday memory – retaining new information, remembering distant memories, and upcoming tasks – can significantly disrupt daily living. For example, difficulties with remembering what you intend to do can affect the completion of daily tasks and hinder independent living. Such concerns are commonly reported by individuals with neurological conditions like a traumatic brain injury.

Neuropsychological interventions like memory training have been shown to enhance the functional memory abilities of individuals recovering from neurological conditions. Moreover, consistent practice of strategies has resulted in functional brain changes.

There are two options for skills training:

• Once a week one-hour group sessions for six weeks

• Once a week individual sessions to tailor program content to your specific needs and goals

Content includes:

• Compensatory strategies – using mental strategies and external aids to improve memory.

• Improving functional memory processes, such as attention, encoding, storage and retrieval.

• Psychoeducation - to increase understanding of memory problems, promoting self-awareness and self-efficacy.

The program was designed to assist individuals with everyday memory problems, specifically those with nonprogressive neurological disorders. These conditions include traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and stroke. The training sessions can also be applied to individuals who experience everyday memory problems, without a neurological condition.
