EP 118 :: Dementia Letters Project :: Kate Fassbender

Tune in as Kate Fassbender talks with us about using writing as a technique to express the myriad of feelings dementia patients and their caregivers experience. Kate’s gentle, kind spirit invites us to open and share our own stories as well as receive the stories our loved ones living with dementia want to share.

Kathryne Fassbender is the creator of the Dementia Letters Project, founder of The Hem of Christ and the granddaughter of someone who lived with vascular dementia. She accompanies those on their dementia journey, magnifying the importance of creativity and human connection by becoming relational with others in creative and dignified ways. Kate is a classically trained musician, visual artist, and theater maker, with an academic foundation in the creative arts therapies. Kate is a Certified Dementia Communications Specialist and Certified Dementia Practitioner.
