Life Story Workshop™ offers on-site workshops for your residents, members, clientele

Kierkegaard wrote that "life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards."

Our Life Story Workshop™ division announces the availability of on-site, professionally-hosted workshops for life review and life story writing. These guided autobiography groups provide superior learning and developmental outcomes. Our comprehensive program allows you to expand your activities offerings with no added staff commitment (even lessons the burden on over-committed staff). Our workshop will also propel your facility to the forefront of activities and wellness programming.

The pre-eminent gerontologist, James Birren, PhD, indicated that "All maturing people pass their life in review—some do it successfully and others do not. Those who feel dissatisfied in their life review and who are unable to complete it successfully are those who become increasingly depressed and despairing as they age."

"I really found many new ideas for what to include in the bio...Exceptionally helpful handouts."
"I like the small group and hearing other people's stories...I liked the handouts—wouldn't change them."
"To tell my experiences and have them appreciated and understood...enjoy stories told by other members...I enjoyed the whole workshop...make it longer."
"Well run. Informative & very helpful. Take home material is awesome!"

This post initiates EFPG's product blog. As the description above states, it will include news, talk, opinions and tips about our entire product line all in one neat, centralized place. Categorized by divisions and product lines, and, of course, completely searchable.

Why put everything in one place? A confluence of ideas, buzz, updates and staff jottings can have an idea-generating effect for readers. You go looking for one thing, and stumble upon a different jewel, or some odd pearl of wisdom. The way it should be.
