Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a group program that is proven to promote cognition, independence, wellbeing and social connections for people with mild to moderate dementia.

Benefits

For the person living with dementia:

  • Enhanced cognition
  • Connecting with others
  • Structured meaningful activities
  • Supportive environment

For the carer:

  • An opportunity for respite
  • Help to manage challenges
  • Connect with other carers
  • Information to available services

What to expect from a CST program

The program is individually tailored to each group and aims to create fun and enjoyment.

Participants complete different activities each session and have a chat about different topics. There is an opportunity to connect with others through activities, discussions and a cup of tea.

You can learn more and receive support in caring for someone with dementia. Connect with others who understand your situation — take steps for your own wellbeing and find the support you need.

This seven-week program will run every Tuesday and Thursday at Diamond Valley Library. 

This is a pilot program run in partnership Holstep Health.
