@flavin_theresa @Dem_Adv @theAAG @AnnMuldowney4 @DementiaAllianc @DementiaAus Congratulations @flavin_theresa .We all feel very proud . Raising the volume of the importance to give voice of living experience is so important 👏I have learnt more from listening to the voices of living experience than I have actually from extended training courses in Nursing

[Communities of Respect - Maria Berry @Commsofrespect]

@age_no_barrier @k_eagar @slpng_giants_oz @JaneCaro We need to declare a national “stamp our feet day”. We are not going to put up with this anymore . How, how do we raise the volume on these issues ………? Shoes , shoes of all descriptions and in many colours . The idea has come from dementia advocate Gwenda Darling 👏❤️

[Communities of Respect - Maria Berry @Commsofrespect]

@age_no_barrier @k_eagar It is an example of how we all need more training .

@age_no_barrier @JaneCaro Go Girls 👏👏❤️❤️

[Communities of Respect - Maria Berry @Commsofrespect]

@victorperton @j_n_justice @xprize In total agreement 👏❤️. “#Ageing is a beautiful thing “. We have to have #optimism and we have to have solutions. We can all be part of driving solutions and our futures. Life is so precious, if we are lucky enough to age, let’s do it well !

Don’t miss out on this unforgettable conversation with Gwenda 'Pinky' Darling (the 'rockstar' of the dementia world) and elder care advocate Maria Berry as they redefine dignity and ageing this Sunday October 29.

[Communities of Respect - Maria Berry @Commsofrespect]

Gwenda Darling you are such an inspiration. All
My nursing Journey and additional education has not taught me what you have . You don’t have time to die , you have to much to do and share with others . Go Pinky , thanks @ABCthedrum

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

Almost 400,000 Australians currently live with dementia. Gwenda Darling says she “wanted to die” after her diagnosis. That was 11 years ago. She’s since learned more about her disease and works hard to live a life she loves with dementia.

@6NewsAU Sadness with this devastating incidence & passing of Clare Nowland .To all the family & community that loved her my deepest sympathy The loss of Clare highlights a terrible state of where our country is at with training ,staffing , community education & awareness for dementia.
