Thanks for profiling my new Dementia Australia research foundation grant, Institute for Health Transformation. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to continue working with excellent collaborators and volunteers to co-design resources that help affirm connections with LGBT+ people with dementia.

Excellent to see this resource for aged care staff in print. It includes powerful case studies around how dementia support needs to be informed by personal connection and knowledge about LGBTI histories.

I'm really looking forward to presenting this Pre-Conference workshop tomorrow and getting everyone thinking about models of care for LGBT+ people living with dementia.

Powerful and rich workshop yesterday on models of care for LGBT+ people living with dementia at #AAG_2023. It was so important to first establish safety amongst participants to talk through some hard stuff - how can we make and talk about useful mistakes. Supported by Institute for Health Transformation

Listening to Christine Bigby talking about the long and deep thinking in supported decision making for people with intellectual disability @ASID2023 makes me think how useful this would be in #dementia
