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.

Upcoming Sessions

Each session is professionally facilitated and offers caregivers the opportunity to manage stress, acquire coping tools, and draw strength from peer support.

[VIRTUAL] Managing Difficult Emotions

Date: Wednesday, 11 November
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Venue: Online via Zoom

All sessions are free of charge.

Caregiving can be a meaningful yet challenging journey, often accompanied by feelings of frustration, guilt, stress, or overwhelm. Navigating difficult situations, managing disagreements, and balancing the needs of senior loved ones with personal well-being can sometimes take a toll on caregivers.

This session provides a supportive space for caregivers to better understand their experiences, explore ways to navigate challenging interactions, and develop practical strategies to cope with the demands of caregiving.

In this session, we will explore:

  • Understanding the feelings and underlying needs that may arise during difficult caregiving moments.
  • Exploring ways to communicate effectively and respond to disagreements or challenges with senior loved ones.
  • Recognising personal signs of overwhelm and identifying healthy coping strategies.
  • Discovering ways to seek support and maintain personal well-being throughout the caregiving journey.

 

This session is suitable for caregivers at any stage of their caregiving journey who wish to navigate challenging situations with greater confidence, strengthen their coping skills, and better care for themselves while supporting their senior loved ones.

[PHYSICAL] Caring Without Carrying It All

Date: Wednesday, 25 November
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Venue: 3 Ghim Moh Road, #01-294 Singapore 270003

All sessions are free of charge.

Caregiving comes with many responsibilities, but does it mean having to manage everything on your own? Balancing the needs of a senior loved one with personal commitments, family expectations, and everyday demands can sometimes leave caregivers feeling stretched and overwhelmed.

This session provides caregivers with a supportive space to reflect on their caregiving responsibilities, recognise their own capacity, and explore ways to make caregiving more manageable. Participants will learn that providing meaningful care does not mean having to do everything themselves, and that sharing responsibilities can help create a more sustainable caregiving journey.

In this session, we will explore:

  • Understanding how personal expectations, family dynamics, and available support influence caregiving responsibilities.
  • Reflecting on personal caregiving capacity alongside the needs and abilities of senior loved ones.
  • Recognising which caregiving responsibilities are essential and which may be adjusted.
  • Learning practical ways to manage responsibilities by identifying tasks that can be dropped, delegated, or delayed where appropriate


This session is suitable for caregivers at any stage of their caregiving journey who may be juggling multiple responsibilities or would like to explore ways to better balance caregiving demands with their own well-being.
