U nedjelju, 11. svibnja je započelo obilježavanje Nacionalnog tjedna palijativne skrbi. Ovo je njegova 30. obljetnica postojanja. Ovogodišnji moto pod kojim se održava je postavljen u obliku pitanja: "Koji je vaš plan?" Cilj mu je potaknuti razgovore o skrbi na kraju života koji bi mogli uključivati raspravu i provedbu kulturološki primjerenih običaja i tradicija povezanih sa smrću i umiranjem. S kulturološki primjerenom palijativnom skrbi se bavi nova internetska radionica koju su početkom Nacionalnog tjedna palijativne skrbina pokrenuli iz organizacije Dementia Australia u suradnji sa Zakladom Fronditha Care.

In this powerful episode of Move.Talk.Thrive, Emily explores the complex world of workplace burnout with expert guest Toni Knight. A psychotherapist and educator with over a decade of experience, Toni has worked with organizations like Occupational Therapy Australia, Dementia Australia, and Relationships Australia to tackle the hidden barriers that perpetuate workplace exhaustion. Toni shares why self-care alone isn't the solution and introduces practical strategies to build resilience and thrive both personally and professionally.   What You'll Learn in This Episode      1. Understanding Burnout The true definition of burnout and its three core components. Why traditional advice like “just take care of yourself” often misses the mark. Strategies for Individuals and Organizations How to identify the psychological barriers that contribute to burnout. Practical steps to reclaim your energy, focus, and well-being. The critical role leadership and workplace culture play in preventing burnout. Toni's Unique Perspective and Framework Toni's journey from burnout survivor to expert. An overview of the Stop Burnout System, a comprehensive framework for lasting change. Key Takeaways Burnout is caused by more than workload—psychological, social, and cultural factors play a significant role. Chronic stress can lead to burnout, but stress itself isn't the enemy; learning how to respond wisely is key. Self-care is helpful but insufficient on its own; creating supportive environments and systems is essential. Leadership and collaboration between employees and employers are vital in building resilient workplaces. Proactive steps, such as identifying personal values, setting boundaries, and fostering workplace wellness, can help prevent burnout.

Today we are introducing you to Jim Rogers, who, in amongst a wild and vibrant life, has been diagnosed with younger-onset dementia. So generous, and such an amazing storyteller, Jim tells us the three acts of his life, so far. The grief of losing his first love, the surprise of his second, and the shock of a dementia diagnosis at 55, this conversation left Hugh, Ryan, and Josh with an invigorated sense for the preciousness of life, love, and family. In Jim's words, dementia strips you of the most important things: your memory and recognition of your loved ones, as well as your ability to make choices for your own wellbeing. Dementia affects the lives of more than 421,000 individual Australians, and countless family members, loved ones and carers. There is no known cure for dementia, however there are treatments for many of the symptoms. This episode is heart-breaking and heart-warming in the same breath, and we know you're about to fall in love with Jim, just like we did. Special thanks to Hamish Macdonald, and the Dementia Australia team, who introduced us to Jim. To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://youtu.be/MUk5ED2Ppug

Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning — thinking, remembering, and reasoning — to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities. Some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and their personalities may change. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person's functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of daily living, such as feeding oneself.Dementia affects millions of people and is more common as people grow older, Dementia Champion, Tim England explains Dementia Australia 1800 100 500 Dementia Support Australia 1800 699 799 Carer Gateway 1800 422 737 My Aged Care (over 65 yrs) 1800 200 422 NDIS 1800 800 110 Tim England. www.dementiachampion.com

When caring for vulnerable loved ones we can feel a need to protect them and remove any potential risk. Whilst this is a natural response, it's so important that when caring for loved ones with dementia we constantly balance their safety with their right to freedom and autonomy. When we put ourselves in their shoes and consider what choices they would make if they didn't have dementia, we start to make decisions more holistically that uphold their wishes, rights and values.Todays episode is all about how we manage risk when it comes to loved ones living with dementia. I talk about various scenarios and how we can balance freedom vs. safety for our loved ones who may no longer have capacity to make those decisions for themselves.If you have any questions that arise from this episode, please feel free to send them through to me via Instagram @thetruthaboutageing, on Facebook @navigateagedcareau or via my website www.navigateagedcare.com.au. Dementia Australia is also a wonderful resource for carers - www.dementia.org.au.Big love, Kate.

There are 450,000 Australians living with Dementia. Our parents or grandparents drift away from us as the disease takes hold. So are we doing enough to manage the crisis? Closed wards, limited interactions with the outside world, a long list of medications, in some cases restraints, doesn't sound like the way we'd like to see our loved ones treated. In this episode of The Briefing, we're joined by Maree McCabe, the CEO of Dementia Australia, to try to find out what can be done for our family and friends as the number of Australians with Dementia escalates.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Fighting for Banaba Part 3//Last week, Priya caught up with Professor Katerina Teaiwa and Itinterunga Rae Banteiti to discuss the colonial history of phosphate mining on Banaba and the fight by Banabans for reparations and an end to extraction. This conversation occurs in the context of a recent push by Australian mining company Centrex, which has sought to conduct phosphate prospecting activities on the island under the greenwashing premise of “rehabilitation.” This week, you will hear third segment a three-part interview with Katerina and Rae - listen back to parts 1 and 2 here.// Katerina is an interdisciplinary scholar, artist and award winning teacher of Banaban, I-Kiribati and African American heritage born and raised in Fiji. She is Professor of Pacific Studies in the School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Rae is of Banaban and Kiribati origins and was raised and educated in Fiji. Rae's environment and social justice work are linked to Kiribati people's histories and the extent of environmental degradation caused by extensive mining.// You can find the petition started by the Banaban community on Rabi Island, Fiji, which demands a defence of Banaban rights and the prevention of any further mining of the island, below. There are also links to further information about the impacts of mining on Banaban people and their tireless campaigning to protect and restore Banaba.// Sign the Petition: STOP CENTREX MINING ON BANABA, DEFEND BANABAN RIGHTS, AND CHALLENGE THE RABI ADMINISTRATORArt Exhibit Brings Banaban Human Rights Struggles to Global Stage [article]Forced Displacement, Banaba, and the Right to Life with Dignity [article]Why you must see Project Banaba – an Exhibition by Katerina Teaiwa [article]We are the Fiery Canoe Foundation [video] Driving the Nazis out of Melbourne//Ellie from Campaign Against Racism and Fascism joined us to talk about an upcoming protest event that CARF is holding to drive the nazis out of so-called Melbourne! A few weeks ago, we had fellow CARF member Jasmine on to discuss this upcoming rally, but since then we've seen some successful anti-fascist resistance to attempted neo-nazi intimidation of a fundraiser event last Friday at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury. Today, Ellie will continue the discussion about the importance of broad-based anti-fascist resistance, let us know about the speak-out held this past Tuesday at Gummo, and remind listeners about details of the protest coming up this Saturday the 23rd of September, meeting at 2PM at the IGA in Sunshine West.// Dementia Action Week 2023//Maree McCabe AM, CEO and Board Member of Dementia Australia, joined us today for Dementia Action Week 2023, which runs from 18-24 September and includes World Alzheimer's Day on Thursday 21 September, to talk about stigma, discrimination, and lack of awareness of dementia. A recognised leader in the health and aged care, Maree brings more than twenty years' experience across the health, mental health and aged care sectors. If you live with dementia or are the family member, friend or carer of someone who does and would like further information or advice about dementia, you can call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 for free support 24/7. // National Union of Students on the Housing Australia Future Fund//The National Union of Students supported putting pressure on the federal government to introduce a rent cap to address housing stress experienced by students. Recently, however, the Greens backflipped on withholding support for the Housing Australia Future Fund after getting a commitment for extra spending on social housing from the Labor government, reducing the pressure to introduce a rent cap. To discuss how this contributes to the housing stress faced by students, impacts federal housing policy and influences their campaigning in the future we were joined by National Union of Students' Education Officer Xavier Dupe. During the interview, Xavier mentioned the NUS Education Office's ‘Get A Room' campaign to fix the rental crisis - find out more here.// Building Community with Resident Frequency Recording Studio//Earlier this week, Spike caught up with Izzy Brown to congratulate her on the launch of the latest grassroots community project she has been involved in called the Resident Frequency Recording studio. Located at the old men's shed at 253 Hoddle St Collingwood, the Resident Frequency Recording Studio is an important local community controlled resource that should be celebrated, and Izzy spoke to us about its launch on Sunday September 17th, the importance of building free, safe and inclusive community spaces, and shared the local community's hopes to develop autonomous skillshare and mentoring programs from the Collingwood public housing estate site.//

On today's podcast, I have comedian / writer / actor… and well, jack of all trades ‘Matt Okine' here to talk about his biggest challenge yet - rebooting ‘Mother and Son.' The reboot of the great Australian sitcom, starts on the 23rd of August at 8:30pm with comedians ‘Denise Scott' and ‘Matt Okine' as ‘Maggie' and ‘Arthur.' Previously played by ‘Ruth Cracknell' and ‘Garry McDonald.'  Almost three decades after the original show ended its successful 10-year run on the ‘ABC,' ‘Okine' has collaborated with the original writer, ‘Geoffrey Atherden,' to create a new program which explores ageing and changing family dynamics, with the added twist of the migrant experience brought by ‘Okine. ‘ Some people will love the reboot and I guess some people won't be able to see passed the original but I hope you watch at least the first three episodes before making a decision. I will find out how the show was pitched and why ‘Matt' always wanted ‘Denise Scott' for the roll of ‘Maggie.' We will unpack why this show had to evolve in some ways from the original and how the creators worked with ‘Dementia Australia' getting the authenticity of the ‘Maggie's' mental state right.   ‘Matt' will reveal why the theme music was dropped and how much of his performance was  influenced by ‘Garry McDonald's' original take on the role.  Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Mother and Son.' Which as I mentioned starts next week this week on ‘ABC' and ‘ABC iview.' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part of the enduring stigma surrounding dementia is the collective misconception that a diagnosis means the end of someone's life – or at least the end of a person's ability to contribute to society. Bobby Redman turns that notion on its head, living on her own and serving as an advocate for the entire community years after her diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia. In this episode, Redman shares the strategies that she's developed to not just survive but thrive as an independent person with dementia, from both low- and high-tech supports around the house to her work with Dementia Australia. Ending stigma and discrimination isn't easy, but Redman provides a clear blueprint for the future.

In Lynne Sewell's telling, her husband Rick seems almost larger than life, trotting the globe with his family as his job in technology took him from their home in Australia to Europe, Asia, and North America – winning friends and professional admiration at every stop along the way. But when Rick was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, their lives entered a challenging new phase. Lynne joins “Elevate Eldercare” to share stories from her years as a caregiver and fierce advocate for her husband.  With both humor and vulnerability, Lynne tracks her winding journey through the care system and offers advice for others in similar situations – ultimately proving that while caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia is often frustrating and lonely, there are people around the world with their own universal experiences to share.

Royce Simmons is an Australian former NRL Player & Coach. During his playing career he represented the Penrith Panthers, NSW Blues and Australian Kangaroos. After he finished playing he moved into the coaching world and ended up coaching the Panthers, Hull FC, St Helens and later worked as an assistant coach to Tim Sheens at Wests Tigers. When Penrith Panthers' rugby league legend Royce Simmons disclosed in January 2022 that, at age 61, he had been diagnosed with dementia the previous year, many were in shock.Typically, the former Kangaroos hooker immediately set about not only exploring what he required to do to slow the dreaded condition's progress, his thoughts turned to assisting others who were affected by the disease – not just sufferers but their supporting families too.Within months, Royce's Big Walk (a registered charity foundation) as a reality and the support he has received by not just many VIPs of rugby league, but the Penrith district's community and beyond has been extraordinary.So, among other fund-raising initiatives for Royce's designated not-for-profit support organisation, Dementia Australia, Royce will walk – from May 17-26 – the 300km from his small hometown of Gooloogong (population less than 300) through Cowra, Carcoar, Blayney, Bathurst, Katoomba and across the Blue Mountains, arriving pre-match at Penrith's Bluebet Stadium the night the Panthers take on North Queensland Cowboys.Along the way there will be several sportsman's dinners or lunches, and a coaching clinic, to help raise funds for local rugby league on the route.You can support Royce's mission, Dementia Australia, junior rugby league and, in particular, the families who have or will go through what Royce himself is confronting, by donating or attending some of the functions from May 17-26.The tough-as-nails former Panthers skipper is tackling his Alzheimer's diagnosis just as he would any other opponent on the footy field – head on and with the benefit of his ‘team' and their supporters as his major priority.If you would like to donate and support Royce please visit the link below. https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/royces-big-walk

In preparation of Season 3 of The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast (25th Jan 2022), we're looking back fondly on some of our favourite episodes, and this week it's Accepting Dementia with Stephanie Bendixsen (originally released in October 2020). Stephanie is a TV presenter and author who has worked extensively in video games and technology and is also an Ambassador for https://www.dementia.org.au/ (Dementia Australia). Stephanie lost her mom to Alzheimer's in 2018. Since then she has been sharing her experiences with the disease in the hope of helping people be more prepared to face it than she and her family were. In this conversation, you are going to hear some very honest truths as Stephanie digs into what she wishes she has done differently in her mom's final years and what resources are now available to make life easier for people living with dementia. The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️

Today, we're incredibly excited to be joined on the podcast by Paola Barbarino, the CEO of Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). ADI are the global leaders of the Alzheimer's and Dementia awareness movement, representing over 100 national associations all the way to the highest stages of international co-operation - The United Nations and World Health Organisation. Paola and her team are tireless in their work supporting organisations like Dementia Australia, Alzheimer's UK and Alzheimer's Association (USA) and providing resources for people diagnosed and living with dementia, their families, carers, clinicians, NGOs and Governments. ADl is behind World Alzheimer's Month which just wrapped up, but raising awareness doesn't stop and it's a constant journey that we all need to be on together, so we're releasing this episode outside of World Alzheimer's Month, to keep the conversation and momentum going. Why is awareness still so important in developed countries like the UK and Australia? Why should our immediate focus be on the journey to diagnosis and beyond? How has the Covid pandemic affected diagnosis and what's the perfect storm that's on the horizon? How can passionate advocates drag reluctant Governments to change? Paola provides great insights into all of this and much more. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, then share your feedback with us via a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us. The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️
