Dr Clarissa Giebel - Sharing dementia knowledge and support with other countries

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Freshly returned from her second visit to Colombia for her ESRC project into the impact of stressful life events on the mental health and well-being of older Colombians, Clarissa's mind is full of thoughts and ideas and also frustrations and sadness as to how little (if any) support family carers, people with dementia, and older adults receive in Colombia. In this blog Clarissa talks about the importance of sharing what we learn through our research, and how the spread and adoption of research findings can help others, particularly in other parts of the world with less investment in dementia research.
