To mark Australia’s first Ageism Awareness Day, the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) has today released an age-positive language guide. The guide provides practical examples of how words, phrases, and images can better portray older people and combat ageism.
As part of Dementia Awareness Month we have put together some information to show how NARI’s research has real, positive impact on the lives of people living with dementia and their families and carers.
Moving Pictures has launched twelve new short films in Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, and Spanish , aimed at raising awareness about dementia among culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
The National Health and Medical Research Council’s latest round of grants, announced this week by the Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt MP, included a combined total of almost $1.7 million for two of NARI’s projects – CultureCare and IMPART.
Caring for an older person at home can feel overwhelming at times, especially for carers who are cut off from support by language barriers. NARI is looking to change that with this innovative project.
