Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention Lecture

Join us for an insightful webinar New developments in Nav-CARE: the Compassionate, Dementia Included Communities Toolkit. 

The Compassionate, Dementia Inclusive Communities toolkit provides practical advice for organizations aspiring to improve support for persons living with dementia and their care partners using a compassionate community approach. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the theoretical and practical development of this toolkit, specifically the weaving together of three community development lenses: compassionate communities, dementia inclusion, and volunteer navigation. We will also share early developments of the implementation of this toolkit in 6 unique communities in BC, Alberta, Ontario, and the Yukon.
