Today’s episode features a great documentary film maker Sky Bergman. Sky's recent work Lives Well Lived focussed on a cohort of 40 inspiring individuals over the age of 75 and how they’re challenging the assumptions and stereotypes of later life. We had a lovely chat with Sky about her film, and there’s some really warm moments in here about how sensitive and inquisitive conversations with our loved ones allow us all to reflect and learn from their experiences. As you heard at the start of this episode, this will be our last regular release for Season 3. There is one more Who Cares episode for the season, with Daniella Greenwood and Maurie Voisey Barlin, that you can catch this Friday. In the meantime we hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation with Sky Bergman, and we’ll see you soon.

Today we're focussing on the importance of social connection and presenting two perspectives on how it can affect the health and well being of older adults. Our first conversation features Dr. Snorri Bjorn Rafnsson from the University of West London, who's research examines some of the determinants of dementia and how we might delay and stop it's onset. In this episode Snorri helps us take a closer look at the relationships between loneliness, internet usage and dementia play out and some potential new areas for exploration. In the second half of this episode we speak to Jamie McIntyre from the Australian Red Cross who co-ordinates around 50 volunteers up in Tweed Heads as they provide support to socially isolated older adults. Jamie and the team do great work in partnership with SilVR Adventures, together we've been bringing immersive virtual reality experiences to care facilities and Jamie shares a little bit with us about that experience and how the SilVR Adventures' solution is enriching the lives of older adults through social connection.

For today's episode we're dedicating it to understanding more about financial elder abuse and how to prevent it. We're joined by Luke Wright from the Victorian State Trustees to understand a bit more about the prevalence, causes and many face of financial elder abuse and some warning signs to look out for. As Luke says in the interview, financial abuse is almost the canary in the coal mine of elder abuse - as its presence is a pretty good indicator of other types of abuse. Whatever you're doing in your work this week, we encourage you to have a think about elders around you that might be vulnerable to abuse and what you can do to prevent it - you can visit elderabuseawarenessday.org.au for more information. You can hear Daniella and Maurie’s take and thoughts about these ideas in their show Who Cares? which is released on Friday.
