Train

On timeslips.org anyone can read/write/share stories. 

But if you want to facilitate storytelling with people with dementia, our Trainings can help ensure you are successful. Watch a free, 11 minute live demonstration here.
All proceeds from the trainings go to support the TimeSlips project.
