This morning at the Multipurpose Center of El Jimenado, the closing of the Memory Workshop "Activate our Mind" was carried out, in which 25 people participated, and which was attended by the Councilor for Social Services, Verónica Martínez.
The Department of Social Services and Equality of the Municipality of Torre Pacheco, in collaboration with Afal Cartagena and Comarca, has organized Memory Workshops in Balsicas, San Cayetano, Dolores de Pacheco and El Jimenado, all of them with great participation success.
Many of the memory problems referred by the elderly are not related to the disease but to the lack of stimulation, attention and training, or affective and emotional problems;
Therefore, it is necessary to offer cognitive training programs that help to conserve abilities as long as possible in order to preserve autonomy, teaching concrete strategies to solve the most common daily forgetfulness in the elderly.
With the realization of this workshop, it is intended that participants know the basic functioning of memory, change attitudes and negative stereotypes about the irreversibility of alterations or memory deficits, and train them in strategies and specific techniques that can be transferred to the daily life, improve the mood and self-esteem of the participants and facilitate communication among its members.
