Bridge is the free magazine of the Continence Foundation of Australia. The Summer 2022 edition has a focus on children, particularly on toilet training, with tips and guidelines around a child's readiness and ability.

This issue focuses on disability which we know can be complex, varied and may present in many
different forms. Included in this edition is a step-by-step guide to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and travel tips for the Christmas holidays.

In this issue we focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), clarifying the differences between them and acknowledging that loss of bowel continence can be experienced by many people with these conditions.

In this edition we focus on persistent pelvic pain, which affects up to one in four women and one in ten men worldwide. As this is a Women's Health Week issue, we look specifically at persistent pelvic pain in women and how it can impact a woman’s health and wellbeing.

In this edition, we share the stories from a diverse range of people with lived experience, including Hawthorn Premiership hero and Brownlow Medalist Robert (Dipper) DiPierdomenico.

This edition has a special focus on toilet training, with plenty of information and tips to ensure a positive experience for your child. Summer offers an excellent opportunity to start toilet training and we have a page full of online toilet training resources for you on page 18.
