This project was a capacity-building programme of participatory shared reading activities for delivery in 14 care homes with 6 sessions per care home that enabled the older people taking part in the programme to build group trust and rapport, connect and share life experiences. The programme used storytelling combined with semi-structured, psychology-led discussions to improve participants' emotional wellbeing and reduce psychological distress through reflection-based group discussions focusing on overcoming anxiety and loneliness.
