About the program
The Memory and Aging Program® is an evidence-based education and memory-strategy training program for older adults experiencing normal age-related memory changes. Through interactive learning, discussion, and practical exercises, participants learn about memory changes that occur with age—what’s normal and what’s not—and gain tools to better manage their memory function.
Originally developed as an in-person workshop, the Memory and Aging Program® is now available in two formats: facilitator-led groups and self-guided e-Learning. To register, choose from the options below.
For more information about the program, including a side-by-side comparison of the two formats, visit baycrest.org/memory or call 416-785-2500 ext.2445.
For health professionals
Program materials are available for sale to health professionals who wish to offer the Memory & Aging Program® in their own practice settings.
The Memory and Aging Program® kit (Second Edition, 2023) contains everything a qualified facilitator needs to deliver the program, including a leader’s manual, a clinical guide, 15 participant workbooks, and downloadable presentation slides and program evaluation tools. Materials are also available for purchase separately. One copy of the participant workbook is required for each participant in the Memory and Aging Program.
Qualified facilitators will have training and professional experience in a relevant area such as education, psychology, social work, occupational therapy, medicine, or nursing. They will have knowledge of age-related memory changes, health and lifestyle factors that affect memory, processes and theories of memory intervention and behaviour change, practice in leading the training activities, and skill in leading psychoeducational groups with older adults.
