Young Caregivers › Forums › News › Invitation to Join a Digitial Storytelling Workshop for Young Carers Supporting a Person Living with Dementia
Dr. Sherry Dupuis (University of Waterloo), Dr. Pia Kontos (University of Toronto), and their research team are urgently interested in recruiting young carers between 14-30 years of age who support a person living with dementia to participate in a virtual digitial storytelling workshop led by Re•Vision Centre for Art and Social Justice, an arts-based research hub at the University of Guelph specializing in social justice-based digital storytelling. The workshops will be facilitated over 4 weeks in the Fall (exact timing to be determined).
The digital storytelling project is part of a larger research project that aims to re-imagine and share, through documentary film, digital story, policy briefs, and other products, what compassionate, relational end-of-life care looks like from the perspectives of people living with dementia, family members, and professionals. The purpose of creating digitial stories is to: 1) raise awareness and disseminate knowledge about the importance of end-of-life conversations and end-of-life wishes among youth and young people who support a parent/grandparent living with dementia and 2) to better support young people/carers in their care roles at end-of-life.
To join the project, please email Rebekah Gold (research@youngcaregivers.ca), who will put you in contact with the research team. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
