In this episode, Tracey and Dan speak with Nives Zarafa from the Continence Foundation of Australia, about how they used co-design to create a no language resource to help Australians across many communities understand the symptoms of incontinence and that there is help available

Here is a taste of what Tracey, Dan, and Nives cover in the conversation:

  • Nives discusses a recent project, which focuses on creating a communication tool without language, to reach marginalised communities
  • Nives emphasises that the team does not have all the answers, but is actively seeking input from consumers to guide the development of the project.
  • The goal of the project is to educate people on the symptoms of incontinence and encourage people to speak up and seek medical advice in order to prevent, cure or manage incontinence.
  • The project invited a diverse group of participants to attend workshops to co-design the resource together, so that it works for everyone
  • The project aims to address incontinence and the stigma surrounding it
