Connecting Peers
Connecting Peers, our one-to-one peer support program, connects people living with dementia and carers with peer leaders who’ve been through a similar experience.
Talk to someone who gets it
No one understands like someone who’s been through it too. Connecting Peers matches people with similar experiences and interests.
- Connect by phone or Zoom
- Have a single call or several
- Share your challenges and what you’ve learned
Get support, give support
You can reach out to Connecting Peers for support from a peer, or apply to become a Peer Leader and support people with needs like yours.
- Get help from someone who knows
- Use your experience to help others
- Meet people who understand your journey
Helping others to normalise some effects of dementia, has eased my own acceptance of the disorder.
