FACE Dementia CALD is an extension of our current Face Dementia project, with additional
funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

We are working with Chinese, Vietnamese and Arab communities using culturally tailored strategies to increase public knowledge about the benefits of dementia diagnosis and treatments and services.

We aim to decrease stigma and increase motivations and triggers for help-seeking.

We are developing information and resources in the following languages:

• Mandarin
• Cantonese
• Simplified and traditional Chinese (written
  forms)
• Vietnamese (written and spoken)
• Arabic (written and spoken).

We are looking for Australian participants who speak and/or identify as Arab, Chinese or Vietnamese to take part in research conducted by the University of Sydney, UNSW Sydney, University of Wollongong and Western Sydney University.
