Home of Dignity Therapy
Home of Dignity Therapy
Dignity therapy is a brief, evidence-based intervention designed to help individuals reflect on their lives, find meaning, and leave behind important messages for loved ones.
The process typically results in the creation of a legacy document, also known as a “generativity document” – a permanent record of reflections, memories, and important messages that can bring comfort and connection before, during and after death that can be passed on to loved ones.
Although traditionally offered to people with life-limiting illnesses, Dignity Therapy has also been used with others seeking reflection and meaning making. Research has shown that Dignity therapy can:
· Reduce anxiety and depressive responses
· Support a sense of a “better death”
· Strengthen connection with loved ones, and
· Facillitate bereavement
