The work of the 2020-2023 Connecting People & Community for Living Well Health Canada grant initiative focused on determining what contributes to the wellbeing of those living with dementia and their caregivers, across rural Alberta communities, as well as determining what supports the work of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) teams who seek to better support them. These VCS teams included representatives from across local health, social and community sector partners, including local collaboratives. Evaluation findings highlighted the need to support VCS teams to sustain collaborative community-based work and to build and enhance individual and community wellbeing.
2020年至2023年加拿大卫生部“连接人们与社区，促进健康生活”资助计划的工作重点是，确定在阿尔伯塔省农村社区中，哪些因素有助于痴呆症患者及其护理人员的福祉，同时确定哪些因素能支持志愿和社区部门（VCS）团队开展工作，这些团队旨在更好地为患者及其护理人员提供支持。这些VCS团队包括来自当地卫生、社会和社区部门合作伙伴（包括地方合作组织）的代表。评估结果强调，需要支持VCS团队维持基于社区的协作工作，并增进个人和社区的福祉。
