Singing for the Brain group for people with dementia and their carers in Rathfriland

What is Singing for the Brain®?

•Singing for the Brain® is a stimulating group activity, for people in the early to moderate stages of dementia and their carers, which can help with general well-being and confidence.

•You’ll meet others with similar experiences in a relaxed setting, and can join in a variety of songs, as much or as little as you like.

How can the sessions help?

• People with dementia may find that music encourages them to express positive feelings and emotions, and well known songs can evoke memories and enhance communication for people with dementia.

 •The groups encourage movement through hand percussion and actions along to the music.

• Through coming along to the sessions, people with dementia and carers can strengthen existing relationships, share experiences and find support.
