Cover title: Supporting people living with dementia in black, Asian and minority ethnic communities: key issues and strategies for change.
Dementia and Irish people in Britain; Dementia and the UK African Caribbean community; the experience of dementia in UK South Asian communities; Dementia and the UK Chinese community; Supporting people living with dementia in the Jewish community; Dementia, rights and black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; Exploring spirituality and dementia; Dementia and further common issues affecting several BAME communities; A single carer's perspective of dementia; Summary; BAME and dementia resources.
Focusing on individual Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities such as Irish, Caribbean, South Asian, Chinese and Jewish, this accessible guide brings together key information on the impact of living with dementia in BAME communities into a single comprehensive resource for front-line staff as well as an information source for families and carers.
The book sets out personal case studies and examines how to provide bespoke support and information to raise awareness and lower levels of stigma. With diagnoses among minority communities set to increase, this much-needed handbook is the perfect companion for care home workers, social workers, doctors and nurses who may lack experience in communicating with and caring for people from BAME backgrounds. It is also a valuable resource for family carers and those living with dementia.
