Back in October 2011, the Today Show crew came to Milwaukee to shoot a segment on TimeSlips creative storytelling. The project had just launched a huge new website with free, interactive storytelling software designed to bring creativity to families with dementia wherever they live, as well as a 5-module online training in the method.
Looks like the segment is scheduled to air on Friday the 25th, between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. EST.
Jenna Bush was the reporter on site in Milwaukee – she had a tremendous ease/comfort with the group of storytellers gathered at the Luther Manor Adult Day Center, and clearly understood the power and value of storytelling.
Jenna interviewed the staff, storytellers, a family member, and me – the whole TimeSlips crew is hopeful that this segment can inspire families to move through their fear to find each other again through stories – real or imagined.
