Caregiver Support Group

Our Caregiver Support Group provides a safe and supportive space for caregivers of seniors to come together, share experiences, and learn from one another. Facilitated by trained social workers, each session focuses on a specific caregiving theme and offers guided discussion, peer support, and practical insights.

The programme runs as a monthly discussion and peer-sharing session, with each session designed to stand on its own. Caregivers are welcome to join sessions based on the topics most relevant to their current caregiving journey.

Session 8 – Moments That Restore Me

Date: Wednesday, 26 August
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Venue: 3 Ghim Moh Road, #01-294 Singapore 270003

All sessions are free of charge.

Please note: This is an animal-assisted caregiver support group session involving guided interactions with silkie chickens. No prior experience with animals is required.

Caregiving can be physically and emotionally demanding, making it easy for caregivers to overlook their own need for rest and emotional renewal. Taking intentional moments to pause, reconnect, and recharge is essential for sustaining well-being throughout the caregiving journey.

This unique animal-assisted session offers caregivers the opportunity to slow down, be present, and experience the calming effects of interacting with gentle silkie chickens. Through guided reflection and meaningful activities, participants will explore how small moments of restoration can positively impact their emotional well-being.

In this session, we will explore:

  • Reflecting on the people, activities, and experiences that help restore emotional well-being
  • Experiencing how interactions with animals can promote calm, mindfulness, and emotional connection
  • Recognising the importance of intentionally creating restorative moments amidst the demands of caregiving
  • Identifying one practical and realistic way to incorporate a restorative moment into daily life

This session is suitable for caregivers at any stage of their caregiving journey who are looking for a gentle, reflective space to recharge, reconnect with themselves, and strengthen their emotional well-being.
