Mental Wellbeing in Late Life - Everyone's Responsibility

Older adults with declining health are at a high risk of disengagement, isolation and declining mental wellbeing. A common mistake in aged care settings is to assume mental health outcomes are the responsibility of experts. However, we believe there is a real opportunity for the wider workforce to also be involved. With the confidence and knowledge to recognise the warning signs of changes in mental health, significantly better outcomes for elders can be achieved.

Beyond the Reluctant Move is essential reading for the aged care workforce, family members and loved ones who believe every older person deserves to be heard, understood and loved.

Innovative Solutions to Support Aged Care Workers

My primary focus is now on supporting the frontline workforce who provide care for our elderly. By providing comprehensive training and development programs, we address workforce burnout, reduce staff turnover, and foster a positive work environment.

When staff feel supported and equipped to handle their roles, the organisation benefits from reduced unplanned leave, fewer workplace injuries, and a happier, more cohesive team. This has a flow - on effect on the improved mental health of elders in their car e and less complaints from families

Bridging Academia and Practice

I don't just share theories; I apply them, having worked extensively in aged care settings. This dual perspective ensures that my recommendations are credi ble, up - to - date and grounded in real - world context and experience.

Let’s Make an Impact Together

I want to collaborate with change-makers in the industry, those driven to make a positive impact within their workplace. Those who see this work as an investment in their team and not a blame game.

Let's work together to create an environment where aged care is not just a job but a respected and fulfilling career. By upskilling one worker, we can influence many, creating a ripple effect of improved care and well-being.
