DANA POINT, Calif. — With support from the Armenian Women’s Welfare Association, the Artsakh Support Cafes provided vital psychosocial support to elders displaced from Artsakh, creating spaces of community, dignity, and connection during a period of profound loss and transition. Over a six-month period, the Cafes operated in four locations—Ararat, Vanadzor, Echmiadzin, and Abovyan—serving 97 elders displaced from Artsakh. An unexpected and deeply meaningful outcome of the program was the participation of elders from Armenia, who asked to join the Cafes alongside displaced elders from Artsakh. “The Artsakh Support Cafes restored something essential for our elders: a place to belong. Building on the program’s success, Alzheimer’s Care Armenia plans to sustain and expand the Support Cafes, continuing to bring together elders displaced from Artsakh alongside elders from Armenia to support long-term community healing.
