Reminiscence about ways older adults have made significant contributions to society may be one of their most powerful developmental needs. Reminiscence work around generative stories can lead to late-life rebirth, revitalization, and mitigate the fear of death. Hearing generative stories can help us to recognize, respect, and sustain older adults’ personal identities through a period when this is easily lost. Most importantly, it can be used as a tool for retaining older adults in connection with others. This workshop will focus on ways to assist older adults in completing a life review of their generative contributions.
