Are you an Indigenous person living with dementia or a family member / friend of someone living with dementia?

The Canadian Centre for Elder Law (CCEL) invites you to be part of conversations to share your perspective about engaging people living with dementia in decision-making.

Participants will receive an honorarium. Our goal is to develop culturally-safe resources and materials for supporting the decision-making of people living with dementia. To learn more or sign up, contact Jess Fehrenbacher at jfehrenbacher@bcli.org or 778-548-9996.

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
