Our updated and refreshed small-group resource is designed to deliver cognitive and spiritual stimulation for older people, including those with dementia.

Devised by Louise Morse, cognitive behavioural therapist and author, speaker and writer with Pilgrims’ Friend Society, and Janet Jacob, psychogeriatric nurse and former care home manager, Brain and Soul Boosting is a series of sessions which support older people to build relationships and retain healthy cognition.

Themes include everything from celebrations to gardens, birds and holidays. Each session follows a carefully planned sequence that works well, leading participants into discussions and ending with a story from the Bible that illustrates the theme.
