Description
Karen Kopera-Frye reports in 2024 on a Spanish-language program that prepares Latinx family caregivers of people with dementia. Latinx families face poverty, discrimination, and health gaps that weigh on caregivers, and rural areas lack fitting services. The program, Cuidando con Respeto, is led by community health workers called promotoras.
Fifty-eight rural caregivers, mostly daughters caring for parents, were surveyed on the program and their sense of readiness. Responses were strongly positive: caregivers felt better prepared, valued coping strategies for disruptive behavior, and reported greater self-belief after the promotora-led training. Preparedness, the talk argues, is a key target in such communities.
