Talking about everything you’re going through might seem hard, but it can make a huge difference. Dementia Australia counsellors are specially trained to understand the challenges dementia brings to you and your family. They’ll also help you develop strategies to deal with the impact dementia is having on your life – and just listen.

Dementia Australia’s counselling services are completely confidential.

You can get support from a counsellor via email, videoconferencing or over the phone. You can choose how you talk to us.
