An accessible guide covering the experience of people with dementia within several different communities such as Irish, Caribbean, South Asian, Chinese and Jewish. It also explores in detail common issues experienced across BME communities such as cultural differences, human rights and spirituality.
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.

The Committee undertook an inquiry to consider the use of the data from the census by the Government, whether there were elements of the census that would be irreplaceable by other means and if the business of Government would be seriously impacted if census data was lost or changed. The Committee is concerned that there is no chief advisor as with other sciences, or a Minister who could answer for Government as a whole whether social science provision was adequate and whether the data from the census and other sources was fit for purpose. The key disadvantage of the census is the timeliness of the data. Yet census data provides a snapshot of the whole country at a moment in time. It enables...
The first time I realised I was actually being bullied was when I was in secondary school and, back then, the bullying stemmed more from rivalry than anything else. Even the teachers were trying to outdo each other, presenting the top student of their class and form group as 'the one' surpassing all others." Chapter 1-The School Yard Bully, Journey to Empowerment. These are the first powerful words to confront you as you begin reading Journey to Empowerment: Tackling the Bullies Within, Jacqueline A Hinds' insightful book into her own bullying, harassment and being ostracised experiences. A tapestry of her struggle on how she was treated from a young age well into her adulthood, it documents how abuse impacted her mind, dismantled her emotional state to the point of driving her into subsequent downturns and potential depression. But, with fortitude and drive, Jacqueline was able to overcome the toughest of challenges inflicted by those threatened by her talents, skill, and character.
Research and innovation are integral parts of the global response to dementia. Yet, the Global status report on the public health response to dementia shows that despite some encouraging efforts most countries are far from reaching the adopted targets of the Global action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017–2025. This blueprint for dementia research summarizes the current state of dementia research across six broad themes, identifies existing knowledge gaps, and outlines 15 strategic goals with actions and timebound milestones to address these gaps. The blueprint also outlines drivers of research that together create an enabling research environment that is essential for accelerating dementia research globally. Going forward, the blueprint will guide policymakers, funders, and the research community on future activities in dementia research, and contribute to making dementia research more efficient, equitable, and impactful.
This international handbook addresses classic mental health issues, as well as controversial subjects regarding inequalities and stereotypes in access to services, and misdiagnoses. It addresses the everyday racism faced by Black people within mental health practice.
