A non-profit organization called, StoryCorps Memory Loss Initiative has recorded over 2,000 individual conversations and stories of those living with Alzheimer’s disease since they formed in 2006. Their 40-minute, audio-recorded interviews are a simple way for caregivers to receive a recording they'll treasure forever.
As a way to get the word out to caregivers, StoryCorps is offering a free four-part Toolkit that gives caregivers everything they need to begin their own recording interviews. For the free toolkit, go to: storycorps.org/mli
There are also digital tools and sample audio segments available on the website too.
If you have any questions about how to use the tool kit for recording your loved one’s story, please contact StoryCorps at memoryloss@storycorps.org or by calling 646-723-7027.
If you’ve used the services and already done a recording, please share your experience with our readers!!
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Alzheimer's disease is just one of the causes of dementia but several other disease can cause it also.
