In the community of West Moorabool, we're good at looking out for each other. But sometimes, the hardest things are the issues we don't talk about. Let's Talk About Health, from the West Moorabool Foundation, is all about having honest conversations, sharing local stories, and reminding each other that we're not alone. From mental health to chronic illness, we'll explore what these issues really look like, how they affect families, and where support can be found close to home. Together, we can listen, learn, and build healthier, more connected lives.
As our population ages we are seeing more people in our region living with dementia. The Long Goodbye as it is known has wide ranging implications for carers, family, friends and those living with the condition on a daily basis.
Heather Robinson from Mecwacare specialises in educating other health care professionals about aged care and she breaks down some of the barriers and offers advice in this latest episode.
