(Referral and assessment are required.)

As part of the Community Intervention Team (COMIT), we provide assessment, counselling, therapy, case management and psychoeducation support for caregivers and persons living with dementia with high care stress and/or complex behavioural of concern. The team works closely with the community outreach teams, General Practitioners, Polyclinics and other community partners to provide holistic care to clients.

As part of the Community Outreach Team (CREST), we also raise public awareness of dementia, promote early recognition of at-risk individuals, provide emotional support to individuals and their caregivers, and link individuals to relevant health and social care services when necessary.

Caregiver Support Groups (in English, Mandarin and Malay)

Caregiver Support Group provides an opportunity for respite while meeting other caregivers in a similar situation to share caregiving experiences and practical tips, learn about dementia, and discover resources in a relaxed and safe environment. Find out more and register here. 

Caregiver Support and Network (CREST-Caregivers Dementia Singapore @ Nationwide)

The Caregiver Community Outreach Team (CREST-Caregivers) focuses on caregivers who have or are at risk of developing depression, anxiety and burn out due to their caregiving role. The team increases public awareness of caregiving concerns, promotes identification of caregiver needs, supports caregivers in self-care, and links caregivers up with support groups and counselling services where needed.

Caregiver Support & Network aims to promote self-care by providing a platform for caregivers to nurture their interests, learn new skills, maintain their well-being, and connect with like-minded individuals at the same time. Register and get connected here.
