Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask Us Anything: What Do I Need to Know About Childhood Dementia?
Q: How do I support a family who has received a childhood dementia diagnosis?
Be explicit about the ways you can help, remember that the family remains the same unit, and prioritize inclusive actions that keep the child and family integrated in social life and the broader community.
Childhood Dementia: Holding Onto Hope
Q: What is the purpose of the Finding Hope Letter and CDI's role for families after diagnosis?
It provides practical resources and a sense of community, helping families navigate new information and find ways to advocate for themselves and their children.
Childhood Dementia: Holding Onto Hope
Q: What was your initial reaction when Hannah began showing signs of something being wrong?
A mix of denial and concern; we noticed differences but fought to explain them away, and the MRI finally provided a clearer path to diagnosis.
Ask Us Anything: How do I know what touch is still ok?
Q: Raksha from Melbourne asks how to support a family member whose parent is affectionate with someone else in residential care.
Louise suggests assessing boundaries, discussing intimacy openly, educating the family about dementia-related changes in intimacy, and providing supportive counselling for the distressed family member.
Ask Us Anything: How do I know what touch is still ok?
Q: John from Adelaide asks what kind of touch is still welcome when a partner no longer recognizes them as before.
Louise explains that consent can be non-verbal and that gentle, pressure-free approaches, reassurances, and respecting the partner's current comfort levels are crucial, while exploring non-physical ways to connect.
