When dementia enters your family, life can suddenly feel overwhelming — filled with pamphlets, appointments, and information coming from every direction.
"It can feel like trying to drink from a fire hydrant" - wife
Families Often Tell Us:
They DON'T WANT
-
More information to sort through
-
Medical jargon or confusing explanations
-
To be told what’s “best” for their family
-
To hear that 'nothing can be done'
-
To keep repeating their story
They DO WANT:
-
Someone to walk through the information with them
-
Clear, simple explanations that make sense
-
Real-life tips that make a positive difference
-
Confidence to make informed decisions that suit their family
-
Practical ways to support their loved one to maintain confidence and skills
-
Support for their own wellbeing, as the person holding everything together
"I wish we had this information when we first recevied a diagnosis" husband & wife
We provide clear, therapist-guided educational programs to help families understand what they can do to keep living well with this diagnosis.
Connect at Home™ is an evidence-based, therapist-guided education program that supports families and support staff to deliver Cognitive Stimulation Therapy at home for people living with mild to moderate dementia.
Some families are able to use aged care funding to support participation in the program - see FAQ for more info.
2. Understanding Dementia™

in a small-group setting in Perth, WA, or
-
as a fully self-directed online program.
You don’t need to become a therapist or learn medical jargon to understand dementia. You need someone to explain things in simple language, so you can gain clarity and make decisions that are right for your family.

Connect at Home™ brings evidence-based Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) into everyday life through simple, guided activities and conversations that are completed at home with a family member, friend, or trusted support person.

It strengthens cognitive and communication skills, supports mood and wellbeing, and helps families spend meaningful, connected time together at home.

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.
About Our Support
-
Programs are led by Amanda, a neurological physiotherapist with extensive experience in dementia and neuro-rehabilitation
-
Information is clear, practical, and in simple language — designed to help families understand and feel empowered
-
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
