In Hong Kong, it is estimated that the prevalence of dementia increases with age from 6.1% of persons aged over 65, and up to 25.8% of those aged 90 and older. Through these statistics, it is apparent that the number of persons with dementia is also increasing with an increase in elderly population. Ways to assist with supportive treatment and behavioral and psychological interventions for this health concern and to improve the quality of life of demented elderly are greatly needed. In this workshop, we will explore how art therapy can help improve the psychological health of older people with dementia. It is a non-pharmacological, non-medical intervention that can have a direct impact on the well-being of the elderly.
