Bendigo dementia awareness campaign designed to support refugee communities

Dementia_2_web

Bendigo Community Health Services has launched new resources to raise dementia awareness in refugee communities.

Our Settlement Services staff held several consultation sessions within refugee communities to ensure the dementia resources delivered the right messaging.

The community consultations identified knowledge gaps around dementia and tested the cultural relevance and appropriateness of information. 

The project was developed using Dementia Australia resources and funding from the State Government.

Acknowledgement of Country

Bendigo Community Health Services acknowledge we live, work and enjoy Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung country.  We extend our appreciation to the Jaara and Taungurung peoples. We pay respect to Elders past and present for their continued holding of memories, traditions, culture and community aspirations.

We recognise sovereignty has never been ceded and express our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of colonisation and their lasting impact. May we walk forward together in harmony and the spirit of healing. It was and always will be Aboriginal land.
