💚How do arts and craft activities help those living with dementia?
💚A natural mood booster - Engaging in a creative activity can provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment, leading to a boost in mood and self-esteem. It can also serve as a positive distraction from any negative feelings or stress.
💚Improves cognitive function - Creating art and crafts require concentration, problem-solving, and memory recall, all of which can help boost cognitive function. For people with dementia, it can also improve communication and reduce feelings of isolation.
💚Encourages socialisation - Participating in group art and craft sessions can provide opportunities for socialisation and reduce feelings of loneliness. This can be especially important for elderly people who may be at risk of isolation
