(SCTP Module) Dementia Care Training
About This Course
Singapore’s rapidly ageing population brings with it a rising prevalence of dementia, a condition that poses significant challenges not only for those living with it but also for their families, caregivers, and the wider social service sector. Social service practitioners play a crucial role in supporting the wellbeing, dignity, and rights of individuals affected by dementia. This 12-hour training program, delivered over four thoughtfully designed modules, aims to equip participants with essential knowledge, practical skills, and empathetic strategies to provide holistic dementia care within the Singaporean context. The curriculum is grounded in evidence-based best practices, local cultural sensitivities, and the evolving landscape of community care.
