Senior Sitz

Hasn’t it been great to see so many volunteers being celebrated on social media in the last few weeks.

If it sparked your curiosity about volunteering, you can book a one-on-one session with a Seniors Volunteering Ambassador from Volunteering Queensland to ask questions and learn more about opportunities that might be right for you.

After a shock diagnosis of early-state Alzheimer’s disease, Rebecca knew the next steps - retire from her stressful job, hold on to the core of herself for as long as possible, and find ways each day to live well so that her time with her family and friends can be as rich and meaningful as possible.

For our May Library Pick of the Month, the Dementia Australia Librarians have chosen “Still Me” by Rebecca S Chopp, PhD.

This honest and hope-filled book chronicles Rebecca's efforts, with the help of her family, friends and medical team, to reshape her life for a healthy and vibrant approach to living with Alzheimer's disease. Based on research and experience, Rebecca provides many suggestions on how to accept the diagnosis and continue to live well.
