PHCOE-DC Webinar: Public Health Considerations and Models for Cultural Adaptations in Dementia Caregiving
The BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving (PHCOE-DC) and UsAgainstAlzheimer's Center for Brain Health Equity are holding a webinar on June 30, "Public Health Considerations and Models for Cultural Adaptations in Dementia Caregiving."
Culture is essential in shaping our individual experiences and health. Yet surprisingly little attention has been paid to the interplay between culture and dementia caregiving. Dementia supports and services are not adequately tailored to meet the cultural needs of older adults and their caregivers, despite the projected rise in the diversity of caregivers in the U.S. In this first part of a three-part series, Dr. Ishan Williams will provide background and context on the unique and pivotal role that culture plays in dementia caregiving and we learn about putting these practices into action with Nina Darby of the Diverse Elders Coalition.
