Presenter: Carl Case M.Ed. Cultural Appropriate Resources Director of Operations, Co-Founder of the Sheffield Memory Hub, Creator of the ‘Black African and Caribbean Dementia Toolbox’ & 2024 award winner of the ‘Most Outstanding Provider of Dementia Care based in the Community’
Description: Black African and Black Caribbean people have a 22% higher incidence of dementia, and once diagnosed, we are also living for shorter periods and dying at younger ages than our white friends and neighbours.
In this multimedia presentation for care partners, healthcare professionals, and family members, Carl will share practical guidance through innovative projects that promote culturally meaningful engagement, many of which can be adapted to other communities.
Inspiring examples will include: ‘Elders Embracing AI in the Co-Production of Music Technology’, ‘Culture, Creativity and Dementia Enablement’, ‘Virtual Reality as a Culturally Appropriate Dementia Intervention’.
When it comes to bridging the existing cultural gulf, Carl’s maxim is – ‘An Ounce of Practical Advice, is worth a Pound of Theory’.
