Dear Warrnambool Community,
There are many ways to make it easier for people with dementia and their carers and families, to live as well as possible. An important step is for all of us in the community (businesses, community groups, neighbours, extended families and friends of people with dementia and their carers) to boost our understanding of the disease.
You’re invited to come along to one of the information sessions at Archie and speak with a lo-cal service provider and / or visit the Dementia Australia website www.dementia.org.au
PTO for more information or details about the information sessions to be held at the Archie Graham Community Centre. Find out about local services and opportunities available.

Café Style Support Program - W’bool
Register with My Aged Care to be assessed for the café style social support for carers and the person they care for who is over 65 years.
This program welcomes people with dementia as well as people with other health conditions and their carers. The common element is the desire for socialising and less formal access to infor-mation about caring for others, while also caring for yourself.
By connecting with others caring in a like situa-tion, you can share experiences, gain support, minimise social isolation and access information that will help you both live healthier lives.

These muscles work with the deep abdominal (tummy) and back muscles and the diaphragm (breathing mus-cle) to support the spine and control the pressure inside the abdomen. Pelvic floor muscles need to be flexible to work as part of the ‘core’, which means that they need to be able to relax as well as lift and hold. Find out about how pelvic floor muscles work, how to strengthen them and keep them flexible. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Suitable for men and women.

Feeling helpless about climate change? The 2040 documentary is the film you need right now.
Damon Gameau's new film 2040 bills itself as a "journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us." In other words - what if we stopped wasting time searching for the answers to climate change - and started using the ones we already have right now? Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/p-rTQ443akE
