Nursing student Anthea came to camp in Jan 20

“Recovery Camp has provided me with so much lived experience that could not be conveyed in a classroom. It strengthens my knowledge & puts it into practice. Any misconceptions, hesitations or stigma I had, has been completely erased”

What a great morning and a great group!

From our short course series: #RecoveryCamp - Being Self Determined

See you all again next week 🙌

The government has its priorities wrong. Surely social justice should be central to all decisions to spend $$. We can achieve both more equity and economic stimulus. We have roofs over heads, not wasteful renovations!

This is how a Chinese school is making sure their students don’t spread COVID.

What are U.S. states that are re-opening doing to make sure students don’t spread the virus?

Providers must be made accountable for spending new COVID $$ to address staff shortages and skill mix plus immediate provision of PPE and other essential supplies for residents...lest we forget the profiteering and neglectful tendencies of some BIG aged care providers

In the last days grief has knocked at my family but this reflection drew my attention back to the stones on my desk that my 1 year old brings me - solid reminders of the beach, garden, street, river. Such matter matters. For people with #dementia in residential aged care too

Wait for it...

The university I work for & study at has been absolutely smashing #COVID19. It has secured all casual work during this period, it has offered 6 month extensions to all HDR students, it has redefined full-time work to 25hrs a week for carers. I’ve never been so proud of @ourANU.

This is an important move...let’s all change our language. Media must also lead on this @uowdrn

Personalised multi-sensory supports for people with moderate to late stage #dementia, give people something they can do with their hands, a story to share and a joke to tell. Watch our video to see how our research creates connection
