A call across the generations, weekly
What it is
Call or visit your parents or grandparents — later, your grown children; ask for a life story. The older side gains the most.
Always on
- Sharing life stories is itself good for the teller — structured reminiscence lifts mood in trials.
- Contact, not obligation: a ten-minute call counts.
