What are you most proud of? New card deck encourages seniors to share personal memories
The card game features open-ended questions about childhood, education, work, retirement and family.
The new "Our Time, Our Story" card deck aims to encourage seniors to share their personal memories and life stories, helping to ease symptoms of depression and slow the progression of dementia. Developed under the DBS Foundation X Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) Memory and Cognitive Health Community Programme, the deck features open-ended questions about five life stages and will be distributed to 18 community partners to introduce reminiscence activities to 11,500 older adults across six Asian markets.
Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How shared a personal story about mischievous activities from his childhood to illustrate the importance of reminiscence in strengthening relationships and preserving the value of life experiences.
