We know memories, emotions, and music are intertwined. The British Medical Journal has reported on the promising effects of music therapy in dementia patients. Using life soundtracks, life story work, and human connection, we help elders unlock joyful moments from their pasts.

The youth visit senior centers and interact with the elders using the power of music and memories. GDS partners with schools and community-based organizations to conduct the program. In preparation, the youth and volunteers are trained as Intergenerational Wellness Facilitators. This training gives them the proper skills to work with elders who have dementia.
