- Life Sciences
Happy New Year from Behind our Science! January marks Alzheimer’s Awareness month in Canada and we are ringing in the new year with our first episode of 2024!
In Episode 20 we cover dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, community resources available for the dementia community and caregivers, and the multi-group “Calling All Voices” project.
In this episode we meet with Jessica Luh Kim, Project Coordinator for the Asian community Calling All Voices paper and podcast series with Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), to learn about her incredible work with DAA and Global Council on Alzheimer’s Disease. Through this collaboration Jessica shares her role in the development of a white paper and podcast series highlighting the lived experience of people with dementia within the Asian community.
While greatly stigmatized, dementia is not something to be ashamed about. We are excited to shine the light on this impactful effort from Jessica and the team behind the “Calling All Voices” Project. During this interview we learned the importance of community and available resources that educate the community and caregivers on cultural sensitivity and competence around dementia care.
