Join me to raise awareness and support loved ones with dementia!
I'm taking part in Cuppa Time for Dementia to raise funds that support more than 433,300 Australians living with this condition right now.
But I need your help!
Please support me so we can continue to help people with dementia by providing the services and support they need every day.
Dementia is the leading cause of death among women in Australia. And overall it comes in at number 2. That's why we need to do something now.
Let's create a Dementia-Friendly Future for tomorrow and help people impacted by dementia today.
When you support me, your donation goes straight to Dementia Australia. It will help them:
- Provide a 24 hour support line
- Offer counselling services
- Create and provide important information about dementia
- Help people plan their next steps after a diagnosis
- Fund much-needed research into prevention, treatments, and a cure.
Let's tackle dementia, together.
Thank you for your support.

Improvisation as a communication strategy
Tuesday 23rd Sep
Last week (15 - 21 September) was Dementia Action Week in Australia. The theme of the Dementia Australia initiative this year is nobody can do it alone.
“With an estimated 433,300 Australians living with dementia and 1.7 million people involved in their care, chances are you know someone who is impacted by dementia.” https://www.dementia.org.au/get-involved/dementia-action-week
Karen Stobbe discovered a helpful strategy to communicate with her mum, whose Alzheimer's condition was worsening. “Step into their world.” A basic tenet of improvisational theater. Don’t argue the premise. Build on it. Don’t say no. Say “Yes, and…”
