How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Culturally Specific Care Modelmethodology: culturally_specific_supportBy tailoring dementia care support to the religious and communal practices of Orthodox Jewish families, we produce more effective engagement, because addressing halachic and cultural considerations (e.g. Shabbos, Yom Tov, synagogue attendance) makes support feasible and respectful within the frum community.
- Peer-Led Support Modelmethodology: peer_led_supportBy using trained professionals with lived experience in dementia care to lead support groups, we produce higher trust and engagement among caregivers, because shared personal and cultural experience creates relatability and reduces stigma.
