This course is designed to equip caregivers and healthcare professionals with the essential skills to provide compassionate and effective care for individuals living with dementia. By emphasizing a person-centered approach, participants will develop a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by individuals with dementia. The course will focus on enhancing communication, managing challenging behaviors, and offering emotional support to people with dementia and their caregivers. Through practical strategies and real-world examples, participants will gain the confidence and competence to create a supportive and nurturing environment for individuals living with dementia. A critical component of this course is recognizing and addressing the disparities in dementia care among different populations. We will examine how factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural background can influence the experience of dementia and access to care. Understanding these disparities is essential for providing equitable and culturally competent care to all individuals living with dementia.
