'I wanted to express my relief and gratitude to you for giving me the skills and direction I have been looking for in dealing with my mother's dementia.  I have searched, researched, read and asked so many people, but it seemed there was little help available until I heard about you [Dementia Care Australia]........ there are many doubts and fears that carers have when caring for people with dementia.....you have guided me and helped me to understand ...and I know that you are there for my support and reference on how to deal with it all.'
