Amid a super-aged Singapore, 70% of individuals prefer to spend their final days at home, yet caregivers lack the skills, resources, and support to provide effective ‘palliative care’ for their loved ones.
Discover the power of building community care with Kampong Palliative Care – a movement in Singapore which aims to equip every member of our kampong, to be a strong pillar of psychosocial support for caregivers, and individuals faced with a life limiting disease, and the bereaved.
In this talk, you will gain the knowledge and skills to become a pillar of support to one another.
Outline
Understanding the role of Kampong Palliative Care
Understanding palliative care and debunking myths
Psychosocial support for caregivers and their loved ones
Navigating difficult conversations with loved ones
Fostering a supportive network among caregivers through the kampong spirit
