We're are talking about a program called Opening Minds Through Art. And I have a certified instructor with me, Kim Willis, also from Capital Health Care Network.

This program was developed by Elizabeth "Like" Lokon, and is taught at Miami University in Oxford, OH.

Kim tells about the strengths of the program, including the multi-generational successes where college students work with our older adult population struggling with dementia.
