Cracked: new light on dementia is an innovative research-based theatre production and film that challenges stigma associated with dementia that creates social exclusion for persons living with dementia, and threatens their health, wellbeing, and quality of life. Cracked inspires alternative ways of thinking about dementia, and encourages everyone to take part in supporting people to live well with dementia.

Dementia in New Light is an online resource about stigma associated with dementia and relational caring. It offers an expansive curriculum that includes 5 main topics ('Relationships', 'Stigma', Identity', 'Current Culture of Dementia Care', and 'Possibilities') and 27 sub-topics (e.g., 'Loss', 'Transforming and Thriving') and uses multi-media and the arts to deepen learning and engagement.
Find Out MoreDancer Not Dementia, directed by Anthony Grani, is a short documentary film that captures the stories and experiences of dancers living with dementia and their carers. The film also fosters broad community awareness building and education about the value of dance for life enrichment.
