brainXchange Event: Dementia Care for Indigenous Peoples

January 19, 202212:00 PM1:00 PM EST

Indigenous worldviews of dementia have been shown to differ from non-Indigenous worldviews. This has resulted in culturally safe approaches to care that are reflective of the beliefs of local Indigenous older adults. The main goal of this session for those who work in long-term care settings is to provide an introduction about Indigenous perspectives to care for individuals and families who are impacted by dementia. In this presentation, approaches will be described, and you will learn where and how to access resources for families of Indigenous persons with dementia.
