Told that if you or someone you loved started showing early signs of dementia, you'd easily find someone to talk to about it? Think again. 

Ahead of Dementia Action Week, shocking new national survey data reveals that over one in five Australians feel they have nobody to turn to, while 40 per cent say discussing a diagnosis with friends and family would be a struggle. Why are we still keeping dementia in the dark, and how can we start breaking the stigma? Brent is joined by dementia advocate, OAM recipient, and co-author of To Dementia With Love, Dr Debra Graves, to break the silence.


The Isolation Gap: Examining why more than 22% of Australians say they have no one to talk to if early signs of dementia appear.


The Fear of Sharing: Unpacking why 40% of people feel it would be difficult to open up to friends and family about a diagnosis.


Professional Support: Addressing the reality that over 10% of people wouldn't even know what questions to ask their GP.


Finding Joy and Dignity: Dr Graves shares her personal caregiving journey with her late husband Don, focusing on maintaining connection, travel, and love.

If you want to move past the stigma and learn how to support your loved ones through life's toughest moments, this is an absolute must-listen.
