The story of survival and the outstanding contribution of Black people to all spheres of life is conspicuously absent from mainstream history books. Until that changes, we will need to have Black History Month.

Take a good hard look at the issues that underlie the major social problems that are more evident. How much more effective could your corporate social dollars be?
Optimize non-profit board performance. Set realistic expectations.
Non-profit board members are time-constrained volunteers and may have differing perceptions of their roles. To make boards effective and nonprofits successful, set realistic expectations of nonprofit board members.
Caring for Work-from-home Caregivers
Aging baby-boomers are creating another boom. As baby boomers get older, they will be the ones diagnosed with dementia, creating a dementia boom that will present major challenges for their working caregiver children, the health care system, workplaces and the economy. Parking parents with dementia in nursing homes isn’t going to be the easiest option in an already overburdened health care system with limited capacity in long-term care residences.
Employers should prioritize caregiving in employee benefits plans and corporate social responsibility programs.
Prendre soin des proches aidants qui font le travail à domicile
Les baby-boomers vieillissants créent un autre boom. Comme les baby-boomers vieilliront, ce seront eux qui recevront un diagnostic de démence, créant un boom de la démence qui présentera des défis majeurs pour leurs enfants aidants qui travaillent, le système de santé, les employeurs et l’économie. Mettre les parents atteints de démence dans des résidences pour les personnes âgées ne sera pas l’option la plus simple dans un système de santé déjà surchargé avec une capacité limitée dans les résidences de soins de longue durée.
Les employeurs devraient prioriser la prestation de soins dans les régimes d’avantages sociaux et les programmes de responsabilité sociale des entreprises.
