22.01.2022 With 2020 being filled with many challenges, now is as good as any to check in on your team mates, friends and family to ask them, R U OK? In promoting mental health and wellbeing, it is of the utmost importance that we look out for one another. We can do this by popping by to say hi or for a friendly chat, calling a friend who may seem unusually distant, or inviting a family member who may seem down over for a (socially distanced) cup of tea or coffee. Even a smile across th...e room can make a difference for someone who may be feeling uneasy. If you or someone you know is not OK, talk to a trusted health professional or call on these Australian crisis lines and professionals: Lifeline (24/7) 13 11 14 lifeline.org.au Suicide Call Back Service (24/7) 1300 659 467 suicidecallbackservice.org.au Beyond Blue (24/7) 1300 224 636 beyondblue.org.au Kids Helpline (24/7) 1800 55 1800 kidshelpline.com.au You can learn more about R U OK?

18.01.2022 ‘Your vote for Dragana will help us in getting a grant of $10,000 that will go towards improving the lives of people living with dementia and their families’. Please click on the link to vote: https://www.westfield.com.au//447NAOXghy/local-heroes-2020 Dragana Bozinovski is changing the lives of people with dementia and helping them to keep their passion for life and stay socially engaged. The aged care team member at charity 3Bridges Community has persevered against financ...ial challenges to introduce a first-in-Australia dementia program. People with mild to moderate dementia attend 3Bridges up to three times a week, cooking and eating together, making new friends and participating in tai chi. Dragana says research has shown the program helps delay admission to residential care. In addition, it reduces feelings of burden on family caregivers, she says. #westfieldlocalheroes

14.01.2022 3Bridges, on behalf of St George and Sutherland Dementia Alliance, was successful in obtaining a grant from Dementia Australia. Allowing the Alliance to continue to build and encourage dementia-friendly communities. Dementia Australia, CEO Maree McCabe said creating dementia-friendly communities is vital to ensuring people who live with dementia can continue to participate and contribute to their community in ways that are important to them and to live well in the environmen...t of their choosing. An estimated 459,000 Australians live with dementia today and of these, 70% of people live within the community." The dementia-friendly grants support organisations in their efforts to design activities that will purposely involve people living with dementia in order to make their community more dementia-friendly. For more information or to get engaged in this great initiative, get in touch with 3Bridges at www.3bridges.org.au or 1300 327 434. #community #communitysupport #dementiaaustralia #dementiacare #3bridges
