Native Narratives Episode 8: Dementia 101

In this special episode of Native Narratives titled Dementia 101, we are joined by Dr. Jayashree Dasgupta, a leading clinical psychologist from Samvedna Care, in honor of Alzheimer's Awareness Month this September. 🎙️💡
Throughout the episode, we take a deep dive into dementia, discussing early symptoms, onset, and risk factors while addressing how we can foster a more elder-inclusive society that breaks the stigma around geriatric mental health. 💭💜
In recognition of Alzheimer's Awareness Month, we also explore the profound impact of art therapy in dementia care. Learn how blending art and science can support cognitive health and provide therapeutic pathways for individuals living with dementia. 🎨🧠
