We at Creative Story Project have identified the importance of story and its various aspects,
focusing on its relevance to life issues and its power as an agent of change.

What a beautiful time of year. People are coming out of "hibernation", visiting with neighbors unseen for several months, and sharing stories of things that happened over the winter.
Now is the time to jot down some of the stories from and with loved ones, or help create new ones -- new memories -- and share with others. If you have loved ones with Alzheimer's or other cognitive issues, use this time to stimulate their minds. We are here to share our program with those who need us. Don't hesitate to contact us. We want to be of help! Our interactive application of creative story is designed primarily to assist those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, but it also serves others with learning challenges or cognitive issues.

NOTE: A brief word about photos. Most of the photos shown on this site were taken by Joyce Vanderpool or submitted by others with permission for their use. If you have "silly" pictures that you might feel are appropriate to create simple stories, we would love to have you send them to us as a jpg email attachment. Pictures including animals or small children (permission required) are the best stimulants for the less cognitive mind. Thank you.

A Challenge for 2018
A new year of stories is starting. Write them down. Or tell them. Stories shared are stories remembered. If you haven't journaled before, give it a try! 
Youth and the elderly! A wonderful combination. Students in our Intergenerational Story Power program learn about aging, the elderly, and the effects of dementia. After learning how to present our program, they then assist in a care facility. These visits with local care facility residents result in new friends, sharing love and laughter, all while learning about dementia and having the opportunity for community service.
On the radio again! On April 22nd, we will be on the Meet Your Muslim Neighbor (MYMN) Radio Show from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. on 93.5 fm. These lovely people have embraced our program and the need for it in the community, recognizing that dementia strikes all races, faiths and cultures.
Listen live at www.groove93.com. Call in on their hotline 423.642.9393, or just tune in to 93.5 fm. Take three minutes to see what we do with Alzheimer's patients. Click on the icon in the lower right corner of the video screen to enlarge the view.
