APP-MN is a program facilitating creativity and well-being for older adults in Minnesota living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. 

Using call and response techniques with classic poems and personal prompts, teaching artists help participants create and perform new poems, fostering social connection and joy. 

The initiative is part of the national Alzheimer’s Poetry Project, which was founded by Gary Glazner and has been recognized for its positive impact on people with memory loss.
