  • Certainly. In April 2023, we launched a new community support initiative called the Caregiver Empowerment Programme. The initiative intends to support some of our most vulnerable citizens, and specifically their caregivers, by providing free access to insightful modules, webinars and resources written in simple English. Content is accessible through a bespoke online learning management system, which will help caregivers retain their personal training, completion certificates and practical resources content.

     

    The Caregiver Empowerment Programme is free to all caregivers and provides information on various topics such as Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Acquired Brain Injury, Mental Health Difficulties in Children and Adolescents, Mental Health Difficulties in Adults, and Self-Care for the Caregiver. The Caregiver Empowerment Programme represents a standard of social good of which we all should aspire and improve upon for the benefit of our collective communities.
