The resources have been developed in English and three Indigenous languages including Djambarruyngu, Warlpiri and Kriol.
The Indigenous Dementia Resources project was proposed after our staff identified a lack of appropriate dementia resources to inform Indigenous people living in remote communities of the NT. Funding from the Northern Territory and Australian Governments enabled Alzheimer’s Australia NT to develop a suite of themed resources – a DVD in four languages, flipchart and poster – to describe what dementia is, how to help someone with dementia, and simple strategies to minimise the risk of developing dementia. This educational tool was launched in Darwin and Alice Springs during Dementia Awareness Week 2009 and is now available for purchase through Alzheimer's Australia NT.
