Dementia Resources In Languages Other Than English

Moving Pictures aims to help people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds recognise the signs of dementia and provide resources in languages other than English.

In doing so, they hope to prevent delayed diagnosis, poorer prognosis, and a higher burden of care on families and health systems.

The Moving Pictures team has so far produced 28 short films based on the real life stories of carers of people living with dementia. The short films are translated into Greek-, Spanish-, Italian-, Vietnamese-, Hindi-, Tamil-, Mandarin-, Cantonese- and Arabic.

For each language, there are three films: Detection and Diagnosis, Navigating Care, and the Carer Journey.

These are available on-line, but can also be ordered free of charge directly from the Moving Pictures website using the order form.
