Description
Susanna Mage and co-authors present a 2023 report on a support program built for Iranian American dementia caregivers in Los Angeles. Many caregivers from the first immigration wave now care for aging relatives. They often neglect their own health and feel sad or lonely, yet they avoid outside help to keep the family image intact.
The intervention, named with a Persian phrase meaning let us talk together, aims to build a personal, easy-to-reach support network. Before designing it, the team partnered with a local adult day center. They interviewed caregivers one by one and assessed their needs. The findings shaped a program that respects cultural expectations around family duty. Los Angeles holds the largest Iranian community outside Iran, making it a fitting test site.
