As end-of-life doulas we are no strangers to listening to stories, but there are new approaches we can adopt if we have a better understanding of how memory works and our neurological capabilities. Come discover how autobiographical memories unfold and a tool to capture the stories. We welcomed Charlie Greene, founder and CEO of Remento, a new way to help families turn the memories of aging relatives into a keepsake book full of their written stories – all without them having to write a word. Charlie was joined by Remento advisor and world-class autobiographical memory expert Brian Levine, a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Health Sciences. Dr. Levine is the author of the book Mind and the Frontal Lobes: Cognition, Behavior, and Brain Imaging and has dedicated his life to the function and dysfunction of large-scale neural systems as expressed in complex human behaviors.
Remento utilizes its expert-crafted questions and images to inspire the sharing, recording, and preservation of precious memories, often used for remembrance and legacy projects. Together Charlie and Brian share how autobiographical memory can be encouraged to support people at end-of-life.
INELDA’s Director of Education and doula, Omni Kitts Ferrara moderates this dynamic discussion.
