SUPPORT OUR BOOK LAUNCH

Title: Understanding Dementia and The Needs of People Living with Dementia: A Brief Focus on Nigeria

This book, “Understanding Dementia and The Needs of People Living with Dementia: A Brief Focus on Nigeria” is a concise and informative guide designed to raise awareness about dementia, specifically within black and minority ethnic communities in the United Kingdom and across the African continent. The book aims to assist carers, service providers, and family members in understanding the unique needs of individuals living with dementia and how to support them effectively throughout their dementia journey.

The book was created to address the critical need for increased dementia awareness in ethnically diverse communities. Studies have shown that individuals from these communities are more likely to delay seeking help for dementia and other health-related issues. By providing a straightforward and culturally sensitive resource, the book encourages familiesto seek early diagnosis and treatment, and it promotes high-quality, person-centred care that respects cultural heritage and addresses specific challenges of the individual living with dementia.

The primary audience includes carers, healthcare providers, and family members within hard-to-reach communities in both rural and urban areas of Nigeria and other African countries. The book will be translated into major Nigerian languages such as Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, and eventually into other ethnic languages like Edo, Ibibio, and Tiv. Additionally, the Nigerian diaspora in the United Kingdom is a key target audience, with insights from their participation in a small, randomized survey helping to shape the contents. Eventually, the book will expand to research more on the other African diasporas in the United Kingdom and across the globe. The book’s application is also compatible with any group. So we hope you will support our efforts by getting your hands on a copy of the book.

This book does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
