This week is Dementia Action Week 💙

At iCare Support Services, we understand how important connection and compassion are. Too often, people living with dementia share that friends and loved ones drift away, unsure of how to connect after a diagnosis. This can lead to loneliness, isolation and stigma.

With an estimated 433,300 Australians living with dementia and 1.7 million people involved in their care, chances are you know someone who is affected.

This Dementia Action Week, we encourage you to reach out, reconnect and show support because nobody should face dementia alone.

If you need support to reconnect with someone impacted by dementia, here’s some tips and resources 👇

In 2024, under the leadership of Colette, iCare Support Services established our social enterprise Equal Ground, built on the vision of inclusion, diversity and meaningful participation.

Colette shares, “I wanted Equal Ground to be a place that champions an inclusive society where people with disabilities can thrive and contribute meaningfully.”

Equal Ground currently provides meaningful employment at:
☕ Equal Ground Community Gift Shop & Cafe
🌿 Equal Ground Yard Maintenance

We are so proud of where Equal Ground is today. Thank you to all those who have supported us 💙

Today is a gentle reminder to prioritise you 💙

International Self-Care Day is all about recognising the importance of looking after our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing - not just today, but every day.

At iCare Support Services, we believe self-care looks different for everyone. Whether it’s joining a social group, enjoying the outdoors, practicing mindfulness, or simply taking a moment to rest. Every small act of self-care matters.
