Everyday care skills
Practical guidance for communication, daily routines, meaningful engagement, safety, and changing care needs.
Our priorities
Knowledge that strengthens care
Education
Translating evidence and lived experience into practical, accessible learning for families, care partners, professionals, and communities.
In development
IDCC is building this area thoughtfully with qualified partners and people whose lives are affected by dementia.
Our approach
Purposeful work, shaped by evidence and lived experience.
Dementia can make everyday decisions feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. Clear, trustworthy education can help people understand what is changing, communicate with greater confidence, plan ahead, and preserve dignity.
International Dementia Care and Cure is developing an education platform that combines current evidence with the wisdom of people living with dementia, families, clinicians, and experienced care partners. Materials will be designed for different learning styles, cultural contexts, and stages of the dementia journey.
What we will focus on
Four commitments guiding this priority.
Each focus area will be developed with clear objectives, appropriate expertise, and meaningful community input.
Dementia literacy
Plain-language learning about dementia, common symptoms, care options, research, and questions to discuss with qualified professionals.
Culturally responsive learning
Resources developed with communities so language, examples, beliefs, and family structures are respected.
Community learning
Education for volunteers, employers, faith communities, first responders, and others who help make daily life more inclusive.
Programs we are shaping
Building the foundation before the launch.
These initiatives are planned concepts, not yet active services. Their design, timing, and scope will depend on expert review, partnerships, community input, and funding.
Caregiver learning series
Short, practical modules families can use at their own pace.
Guides and conversation tools
Downloadable resources designed to support planning and constructive conversations.
Webinars and local workshops
Live learning with clinicians, researchers, care professionals, and people with lived experience.
Multilingual resource library
A growing collection of reviewed materials adapted for diverse communities.
