Dignity Care Therapy

Dignity Care Therapy (DCT) is a specialized, evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention designed to alleviate suffering and enhance the sense of dignity for individuals, particularly those nearing the end of life or facing major health challenges. The core of DCT involves a structured process where a trained professional helps the person create a Dignity Document—a unique form of legacy that captures their life story, accomplishments, hopes for others, and what they wish to pass on. By focusing on their continuity of self, generativity, and meaning, DCT aims to combat feelings of fear, hopelessness, and loss of identity, helping the individual maintain a positive sense of self and purpose. At TrueMe®: Golden Years, we help fund this vital service by partnering with senior living facilities to cover the costs associated with hiring licensed therapists trained in DCT protocols to provide care. ensuring that this profoundly impactful care—which is often not covered by standard insurance—is accessible to every resident who can benefit from leaving a lasting, dignified legacy.
