SUMMARY:Meeting Communities Where They Are: Innovative Approaches to Dementia Supports and Services
DESCRIPTION:National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) Webinar\nAddressing 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. \nThis 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. \nNADRC webinars are free and open to the public.\nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/.\nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings. \nSpeakers:\nJaqueline Dedeaux\, M.S.\, LSW\nADP Program Manager and Caregiver Counseling Coordinator | Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District \nJackie Dedeaux has been employed by the Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District (SMPDD) for eight years. While at SMPDD\, she has worked with the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program\, was the Discharge Coordinator with the Mississippi Access to Care Department\, and currently is the Alzheimer’s Disease Program Manager. \nHye-Won (Grace) Shin\, PhD\nExecutive Director | Somang Society \nDr. Hye-Won (Grace) Shin is the Executive Director of the Somang Society\, where she leverages her background as a biomedical engineer to dismantle the health disparities\, language barriers\, and low health literacy affecting older Korean and Asian American adults. Serving concurrently as the Director of Asian American Community Outreach at UCI MIND\, she acts as a critical bridge between academic research and immigrant families to ensure equitable representation in dementia studies. Her work focuses on fostering meaningful collaborations that provide culturally tailored resources\, empowering underrepresented communities to navigate dementia care and advance care planning with dignity. \nRegister
