Dementia Dialogue - Francophone Episodes

 
Since 2021, Dementia Dialogue is proud to offer a French series called: “Les troubles neurocognitifs: parlons-en !”
 
In this series, they speak to Francophones with lived experience, caregivers, researchers, and stakeholders across Canada to better understand how individuals have adapted to living with dementia.
 
The goal is to inform, reduce stigma, and inspire people to continue living well. The production team for the French series comprises JoAnne Chalifour as the project manager, Ingrid Gagnon as the host, and Daniel Hubert as the sound technician.

Topics covered have included​:
  • Pandemic and health measures: a challenge for people with dementia, caregivers, and stakeholders
  • Dementia-Friendly Canada
  • Resilience and the importance of being able to access services in French
  • Living in the moment and enjoying life (Living with Lewy body dementia)
  • Adapt to live better! (Using arts as a way to cope with Parkinson's disease)
  • Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)
  • The challenges of remote caregiving
  • Innovative models of residences for seniors living with dementia
