The National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) is hosting a webinar highlighting the Memory Connections program, an ACL-funded initiative by Senior Services Inc. in North Carolina. This multi-faceted project provides support, creativity, education, and engaging activities for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. With a specific focus on reaching out to Hispanic Americans and African Americans, the project aims to address the higher prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in these populations. The webinar will showcase how Senior Services Inc. and its partners are collaborating to create a unique continuum of dementia care, with a special highlight on the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity's Caregiver College, which educates African Americans about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
