Abstract
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) has emerged as a highly effective non-pharmacological intervention for individuals with mild to moderate dementia. Designed to enhance cognitive function and improve quality of life, CST is rooted in the principles of social interaction, mental stimulation, and person-centered care. This article delves into the foundations, benefits, implementation, and future prospects of CST, shedding light on its significance in dementia care. CST is a structured, evidence-based therapy that engages people with dementia in mentally stimulating activities within a social group setting. Developed in the early 2000s by researchers at University College London, CST aims to stimulate various cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on individual rehabilitation, CST places a strong emphasis on group dynamics, fostering interaction and enjoyment among participants. The program typically consists of 14 sessions, each lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. These sessions cover a wide range of activities, including word association games, creative storytelling, music-based tasks, reminiscence activities, and problem-solving exercises. The sessions are designed to be engaging, meaningful, and adaptable to the individual preferences and cultural backgrounds of participants
