African American and Asian caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) experience significant caregiving challenges. These groups have a high, and growing, prevalence of ADRD. At the same time, these groups are at risk of unmet needs and poor outcomes due to systemic service barriers and unique caregiving perspectives. Thus, there is a critical need for developing linguistically accessible and culturally meaningful caregiving supports and resources for this population. 
The goal of this symposium is to describe frameworks for developing culturally-tailored interventions and to share strategies and resources for meaningfully supporting Asian American and Black/African American caregivers of persons with dementia.
