Lori La Bey, host of Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio will talk with Jael Weinberg, an Art Therapist who incorporates the creative process in many forms into her therapeutic work with residents at Aegis Living’s all memory care community, Callahan House. Today we will learn what art therapy is, how it is different from the typical arts and crafts most of us do and what the benefits are from art therapy.
I think you will learn a few new things Like I did that might just change your perception of art used as a form of therapy. We will discuss group sessions to one on ones, how emotions are released and created, as well as how energy levels can be adjusted all while building confidence and social engagement.

Bright smiles once captured are now fleeting and few
Her indifference grows stronger, as her prayers fill the pew
Words once spoken fall silent from her lips
Her captor steals her thoughts and robs her of bliss
A world yet to travel with opportunities so vast
Is held hostage by her mind and are now dreams of the past
Loved ones are devoted and keep vigil for her care
Unable to arrest this disease that so dares
Dares to be bold, dares to be brash
And forces us to mourn our loss before the ash
We take solace in knowing that her fear will surrender
To a place deep inside, that she will no longer remember
Let’s find a cure….
