It's Not My Area
Why, when I ask the professionals, do I keep hearing it's not their area? So who's area are the following issues: family counselling and being the child of someone with dementia? Thoughts?

Family Therapy is a sub-specialty. If you are looking for psychologists, then various "Find a psychologist" tools have check lists you can select your desired specialisation for
You could include geriatric psych in that search

Can be very frustrating @ButterflyWings I totally get you. Maybe get in touch with Relationships Australia for some guidance - good luck 💜

Re: It's Not My Area
Hey @ButterflyWings ,
I hear the frustration that comes with this. I wonder if it's because it is such a specialised area so it is out of scope to work with such issues?
I've heard that Dementia Australia can be helpful: https://www.dementia.org.au/
All the best. I look forward to hearing how you go.
@Snowie may be able to provide some valuable insight too through their lived experiences.

Hi @ButterflyWings
My mother has got dementia.
I highly suggest that you contact Dementia Australia. They can give you one on one counselling and also give you lots of resources. They have been a huge help to me and my family
