Support Groups for Frontotemporal Dementia
UCSF Memories in the Making®
The UCSF Memory and Aging Center Memories in the Making® Art Program, under the guidance of an artist facilitator, offers individuals a means of self-expression through the process of painting and drawing. In this program, a person with diminished verbal and organizational skills can communicate using paints or pencil by recreating a memory on paper or canvas. The art sessions are facilitated by an artist and assistant who have extensive art backgrounds and knowledge of dementing illnesses.
