Biografía
For the past 20+ years my work focused on developing, implementing and evaluating novel intervention programs to reduce psychological distress and improve health outcomes in family members providing long term care to a relative with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia - with particular emphasis on unique issues and coping strategies of persons from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. .
