International Perspectives on Supporting People with Dementia and Caregivers

A webinar hosted by the Administration for Community Living's National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center and the American Society on Aging scheduled for January 30 will cover international viewpoints on supporting people with dementia and their caregivers. The presentation will offer results from a poll on stigma given to people with dementia and caregivers from 54 countries. The presentation also will describe Scotland's decade-long effort to improve dementia care and how Focus on Dementia is supporting the deployment of the dementia strategy in practice. Webinar participants will be able to identify with how people with dementia are stigmatized in three ways, as well as identify techniques to help mitigate this stigma in their local communities. In addition, participants will be able to describe Scotland's dementia strategy and progress in this area, as well as understand how Scotland supports the implementation of the dementia strategy into practice.
