DEMENTIA FOR FAMILIES
The effect on family life when caring for a loved one with dementia is trying. Especially when they live at home.
In order to care effectively for a person living with dementia you must accept the way things are, and then, introduce change into your life.

We'll discuss:
• What dementia is and what living with dementia means
• The grieving process
• Support services and how to access them
• Challenging behaviour and how to respond
• What are the doctors saying and how to understand them
• What happens when keeping your loved one at home is no
longer an option

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
