In this podcast episode, host Mark Sheppard speaks with Yvonne, a caregiver who has been caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's and
dementia for a number of years. The conversation revolves around the challenges that come with being a caregiver for someone with these
conditions.
Alzheimer's and dementia are neurological disorders that can affect memory, thinking, and behaviour. Caring for someone with these conditions can be a difficult and emotional experience and Yvonne shares her own experiences and insights into what it takes to be a caregiver.
Some of the topics discussed in the episode may include the daily struggles and responsibilities of being a caregiver, dealing with difficult behaviours and mood swings, coping with the changes in the relationship with the person being cared for, and finding support and resources to help manage the caregiver's own mental and emotional well-being.
The conversation may also touch upon the importance of educating oneself about the conditions and how to provide proper care, as well as
seeking out professional help when needed. Overall, the episode aims to shed light on the challenges of being a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's and dementia and offer support and guidance to those who may be going through a similar experience.

Mark Sheppard speaks to Steve and Charlotte with regards to their experiences with Family Court and associated services. Going through Family Court can be traumatising for any parent or child. That is why I believe we must keep as many cases out of court as possible as the court process itself can be very detrimental to everyone involved.
The parents speaking out feel helpless and unsure who to proceed with their children due to lack of support and funding for their cases. We need to keep highlighting and discussing the issues until someone listens and start the process of change. This will then work in favour of the child/ren and really do “what is in the best interest of the child” which needs to be number one and transparent.

Truth Hurts Podcast S1 Ep1 – Family Court & Associated Services Mark Sheppard speaks to Debi, Steve, Matt and Paul about Family Court & Associated Services. The decisions they make and what solutions can be implemented to keep families out of Family Court. Someone who has never been in family court or used the services that come with it will never fully understand the experience and how traumatising it can be. Not just for the parent that goes through it but the long-term impact it has on the child whereby the time they spend with a parent is dictated by a court order. The resident parent will use the child and court order to limit time with the other loving parent providing no flexibility for the child’s time. This can be seen as coercive control over the non-resident parent but very rarely gets reported to the police or professional services. We need early intervention strategies and long-term support for families if we ever want to see a reduction of family court applications!
