Reaching out to those affected by Alzheimer's disease |
 |
Throughout
the spring and summer of 2008 we are collaborating with the local chapter of
the Alzheimer's Association on a series of creative classes, called the Life
Writing Series, for early-stage Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. Led
by board member Jeremy Jones, this series offers one-hour classes designed to
acquaint participants with various forms of creative writing and lead them
through journal-writing exercises. The classes are free and open to anyone
affected directly or indirectly by Alzheimer's.
|
The Life Writing Series is based on autobiographical memory
studies that suggest trying new forms of mental activity in general and the
telling - or writing - of stories in particular has a therapeutic effect for
both patients and their caregivers.
The roster of instructors includes poet John Lane, novelist
Elizabeth Cox and columnist Kirk Neely. Each instructor will discuss a
different kind of writing. A high ratio of facilitators and support staff
allows for individualized attention and customized approaches to the exercises.
The classes meet on the fourth Wednesday of the
month at 2:30 p.m. at Morningside Baptist Church. Journals are provided. For
more information contact Joyce Finkle at 864-542-9998 or joyce.finkle@alz.org
