| 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 second part of a three-part series, attendees will learn more about health inequities facing Black and Latino dementia caregivers and will learn firsthand from practitioners who have adapted or developed culturally tailored programs to serve these communities. Welcoming Panelists: Juith Susan Rocha, Ph.D.; Director of Field Education, Assistant Professor, Northeastern Illinois University Lauren J. Parker, Ph.D., MPH; Assistant Scientist, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Fayron Epps, Ph.D., RN; Assistant Professor, Emory University, Neil Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing Jason Resendez, Executive Director, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s Center for Brain Health Equity |
