Being a caregiver for your loved ones can be a fulfilling and meaningful role. The journey can even help to strengthen the relationship between both of you. However, there can be times when caregivers like yourself, face challenges such as finding the relevant caregiving resources and acquiring more information about your loved one's condition. Some of you may also feel inadequate in care management of your loved ones or feel isolated in your caregiving journey. Support given to tackle these common challenges faced by caregivers can boost your skills, knowledge and confidence to help you cope better in your caregiving journey. In turn, this will enhance the well-being of the loved ones you are taking care of.
There are different types of support groups and programmes which you and/or your loved one can join. Click here and fill up a few questions on the form to access a list of support groups and psychosocial and educational programmes tailored to your needs.
