Can I use TimeSlips if it’s just me doing the facilitating?
Yes, but it’s harder. You’ll need to practice lots, and do lots of listening and echoing, and running around the group to be sure you’re getting all the responses. If they don’t feel like you can hear all their answers, they’ll stop talking. Any staff member can help you – administrators, direct care workers, housekeeping staff, nutritionists, chaplains. If you can’t free up a staff member to help, you might also consider finding a volunteer. This is a wonderful activity for volunteers (clear, fun, and purposeful) – and is often used as a way to recruit and retain volunteers.
