Helping people and families live well with dementia

While we can’t change the diagnosis,

we can change the experience.

How We Support You

We offer practical guidance for families and cognitive support programs that help people living with dementia strengthen thinking, communication, and everyday life.

When dementia enters your family, life often comes to a standstill.  You're left with pamphlets, appointments, instructions, and a lot of information to absorb - all at once.

A person shared with me 'It can feel like trying to drink from a fire hydrant!' 

 

​Then real questions begin:

What about tomorrow? And the day after that?  How do we keep living well?

That’s exactly why we created our programs — to offer families clear, practical support for everyday life, not just information.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Beta enrolment for our Connect at Home™ cognitive stimulation therapy program is currently open at a heavily discounted rate until February 16, 2026.

 

ONLY 4 PLACES AVAILABLE!

 

Early intervention makes a significant difference in quality of life and maintaining abilities.

Connect at Home™ brings evidence-based Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) into daily life through simple, everyday activities that fit naturally into your routine - whether you’re sharing a coffee at the table or relaxing together on the couch.

There’s no travel, no rushed mornings, and no appointments to get to - the program is designed to work around real life, not add to it.

Clinical research shows CST can strengthen thinking, support communication, reduce anxiety, and deepen meaningful connection between you and the person you’re supporting.

Families also gain access to our private online community, offering a welcoming space to connect with others who are living with a similar diagnosis and navigating similar experiences.

Dementia is something a person lives with -
it does not define who they are

Understanding Dementia™ helps families understand what's happening beneath the surface, reduce overwhelm, and feel more confident about how to respond and connect.

This therapist-led self-paced program offers practical guidance on enhancing connection, navigating the Australian healthcare system, supporting your own wellbeing as a carer, and maintaining engagement - in simple language that is easy to understand.

How We Deliver Support

  • All of our content is self-directed, concise, and provided online, through videos or downloadable resources to access at your own pace
     

  • Programs are led by Amanda, a neurological physiotherapist with extensive experience in dementia and neuro-rehabilitation
     

  • Guidance is clear, practical, and realistic — designed for real life, not textbooks
     

  • Everything we do is based on research and grounded in respect, connection, and living well

Dementia may change memory and roles
But it doesn't have to take away connection

Our work is guided by The Connect Method™, a strengths-based framework designed to help families feel less overwhelmed, more confident, and better supported, when dementia is a part of life. 

Rather than adding more information, the Connect Method helps bring clarity to what matters most and supports practical action.

We focus on five essential connections:

  • Connection to Self & Strengths

  • Connection with Family & Friends

  • Connection with Support Teams 

  • Connection within the Brain 

  • Connection with Community 

Amanda

She is deeply passionate about helping people with dementia to preserve strengths, confidence and wellbeing. 

 

Equally committed to carers and families, supporting families, Amanda provides clear, practical guidance that supports understanding, connection, and positive change.
