Toward Communities That Support One Another, Together with Dementia

The Community Health Nursing Lab studies community health nursing and public health nursing.
Centered on people with dementia and their families, the lab works on building communities where citizens, professionals, and government collaborate to support one another.
The lab also exchanges ideas with researchers at a university in Ireland on the theme of caring communities.
Graduate students deepen their research through a combination of group supervision and individual supervision from faculty, and write up their findings as papers.

Building Communities Where People Live Together with Dementia↗

The lab investigates activities that create places where people with dementia feel they belong, as well as community-building activities in which people support one another together with people with dementia and their families. Drawing on case studies, it has organized methods of collaboration among diverse people, including citizens, professionals, and government, and summarized them into core ideas for collaboration.
