Conditions studied: Dementia

In brief

This project aims to examine the feasibility of implementing Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) under real world circumstances in a more heterogenous population, with the ultimate goal of making the treatment broadly accessible. The effects of CST on the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) as a non-pharmacologic intervention will also be studied.
