Dementia Friends of Massachusetts is hosting a special symposium entitled “Let’s Talk About Dementia and Culture 2022”! Check out the flyer here and read on below for more info and links!
What’s It About?
Dementia affects every community, but not in the same way. Join us for a conversation about disparities, different needs, and specific strengths in many cultural and linguistic communities. Dementia educators and advocates in Black/African American, Chinese, Brazilian/Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Spanish-speaking, and Southeast Asian communities, as well as those working with people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, will share their insights and experiences. Come learn with us, as we work to raise awareness about dementia and make sure that information and support are available in all of our communities.
