Caregiver Mastery is a uniquely curated empowerment initiative for caregivers of persons with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Caregiver Mastery aims to do this by supporting caregivers through knowledge-sharing, dyadic engagement and self-care.
Over monthly sessions, caregivers come together to share, grow and bond with themselves and others through a variety of practices such as mindfulness and creative initiatives such as art, music and nature-inspired engagements. Our sessions are designed with attention to self-care, confidence building and sense-of-self, all while providing opportunities for caregivers to journey together and receive peer support from each other. The programme hopes to support caregivers in journeying with their loved ones and embracing caregiving not as a burden, but as a gift. As our caregivers progress from empowerment to mastery, further growth opportunities are provided for them to take on co-facilitator or mentor roles; eventually building a space for caregivers, by caregivers.
The objectives of this initiative are to create a community of empowered caregivers moving toward achieving mastery through:
- Enthusing caregivers to be actively involved in ensuring PMCIs/PWDs live well at home and in the community
- Empowering caregivers to be capable and confident in caregiving of PMCIs/PWDs
- Empowering caregivers to learn and bond together through their own lived and shared experiences
- Enhancing PMCI/PWD & caregivers’ sense of self, confidence and well-being (healthy physical, mental and emotional state)
