Aggression
<p>Aggression isn’t a sudden personality change for someone living with dementia - it’s often their brain finding new ways to communicate or react when a situation feels overwhelming. It might stem from frustration, fear, confusion, or a sense of being unsafe. Understanding why aggression occurs is crucial, not only for the wellbeing of the person living with dementia but also for the safety and confidence of those who support them. In this episode, we unpack what aggression can look like, why it happens, how to respond, and why education around changed behaviour is essential for carers and families alike. </p><br><p><br></p><p> </p><p>We’d like to show our respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands.

Environments
<p>At some point, or another, we've all likely experienced the feeling of losing our bearings - maybe even the anxiety and fear that follows. Now imagine that constantly, because you’re a person living with dementia. What if there was a way to reduce the potential for that feeling? Well, there is. And it has everything to do with the physical space, the design of the environment, and how we think about what it means for a person living with dementia. The smallest of things the average person may not even notice can make all the difference - and there’s always room for improvement, in any space, big or small. Today, we’ll be chatting to Fallon Forbes from DTA to understand environments, how they impact a person living with dementia, and ways a space can be improved to make it more dementia-friendly - it’s easier than you might think… </p><br><p><br></p><br><p>We’d like to show our respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands.

Allied Health
<p>When we think about a dementia diagnosis, it’s easy to associate care with doctors and nurses, living facilities and how various changes are going to impact the loved ones of a person living with dementia. But just like with any stage of life, there are multiple areas of care that are essential to improving and maintaining health and wellbeing. Enter Allied Health - from occupational therapy and speech pathology to nutrition and optometry, and all the other key areas of health in between. On this episode, we’re joined by Ellie Newman, DTA’s own Western Australia Director and qualified physiotherapist, to discuss all things allied in the dementia care space, the role allied health professionals play in caring for someone living with dementia, and why it’s so important to remember that care should be looked at through a person-centred, holistic lens. </p><br><p><br></p><p>We’d like to show our respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands.
