Want to participate in an audio-diary research project and a second season of the Call to Mind podcast?

If you are someone with dementia or are a care partner of someone living with dementia, and would like to join a small, online support group to share your caregiving experiences, read on and connect with our research team to find out more.

Mariko Sakamoto, professor of nursing at the University of Victoria, has launched a Call for Participants to join her new and innovative research project. It aims to increase support for the dementia caregiving community and to study the value and impacts of recording and sharing personal audio diaries as part of small, virtual, sharing & storytelling sessions for a 12-week period. Personal recordings will be woven together with research observations to create a second season of the Call to Mind podcast, which will launch late fall, 2024.
