Stakeholders Consultation Meeting on Identifying and Supporting for PLWD Among the Homeless Population in BC
Homeless individuals are among the most marginalized and neglected populations, and the intersection of dementia and homelessness presents unique challenges for care provision and policy intervention. This meeting will provide an opportunity to gather key stakeholders to examine these challenges, explore the existing gaps in knowledge and services, and collaboratively develop approaches to address these challenges effectively. By identifying the needs, barriers, and potential solutions to support homeless PLWD, we aim to generate insights that will inform and strengthen the implementation of a pilot program in British Columbia.
