Have you heard this quote before?
Caregivers are the beneficiaries of this initiative because they need our support. Caregiver burn out is a serious problem, and the heavy responsibilities that many caregivers shoulder causes stress, anxiety and even suicidal thoughts in serious cases.
Why not make this campaign an opportunity to step out and connect with or befriend a caregiver? Someone might need the encouragement or a listening ear that you offer. You can make a difference.
Left: A participant of a C2C Dementia course at Bishan CC in 2019 shares a message to all caregivers: "You're not alone", "do not feel that you've not done enough".
Will you tell someone this? You too could be a change-maker.
Pause and think of a friend, a relative or a colleague who might be caring for someone with dementia or a mental health condition. Connect with them during this COVID-19 period and extend a listening ear to them, or offer some practical help.
You could also share with them about CAL and our C2C classes. We have been running the C2C programme online since the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak. You may find out more and register at: www.cal.org.sg/c2c
