Cognitive Stimulation Therapy

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a structured program designed to improve cognitive function and enhance quality of life for people with dementia. It involves engaging activities that stimulate thinking, memory, and communication, such as discussions, quizzes, and simple games. CST promotes social interaction and encourages participants to reminisce about past experiences. Research shows that regular participation can lead to improved cognitive skills and emotional well-being. It is often delivered in group settings, providing both mental exercise and social support, which can be beneficial for those living with cognitive decline.
