This webinar is part of the cultural competency training curriculum created by the staff of the Diverse Elders Coalition (DEC) and its six member organizations after more than a year of research. The research was conducted nationwide, in eight languages, and was led by the older adults and caregivers represented by the coalition, and included a literature review, a survey of diverse family caregivers and a series of focus groups with family caregivers in diverse communities.
