Join the National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) for "Meeting Communities Where They Are: Innovative Approaches to Dementia Supports and Services."

Addressing the unique support and service needs of communities is central to effective home and community-based dementia care. While many dementia-specific interventions are grounded in research and best practices, they often require thoughtful adaptation to effectively reach underserved populations. Supports and services for people living with dementia, their caregivers, and their communities are most impactful when tailored to reflect cultural values, language, and lived experiences.

This webinar will feature two specialized, community-based dementia programs, each focused on an underserved population: African American and Korean American communities. Both programs have adapted their approaches to reduce barriers to service acceptance, increase engagement, and address unmet needs. Together, they will demonstrate strategies for delivering strengths-based, dementia-specific services and supports while navigating and overcoming challenges.
