Description
Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people with dementia. Developed in 2007 at Miami University's Scripps Gerontology Center in Oxford, Ohio, the program is grounded in person-centered care principles.
The OMA art-making process involves carefully structured steps aimed at maximizing the possibility of creative expression. Participants are provided with manageable choices and failure-free activities that allow them to become active agents in their own creative process. The one-to-one ratio during art-making sessions builds the confidence and promotes the growth of close relationships between people with dementia and their partner.
The research shows that OMA helps to change how others view, interact with, and care for people with dementia.

| YHOA is currently focusing on the challenges and opportunities of attracting diverse populations. We are remedying this by developing a bigger and broader range marketing plan. We will continue to focus efforts on those who need alternatives to traditional therapeutic counseling and continue to expand our organizations brand throughout Tennessee. We are also developing a sustainable yearly fundraiser to raise the dollars needed to meet the demands for programs and daily operational needs. |
