A collaboration between Psychosocial Initiative and SG Assist, this initiative aims to equip volunteers and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to help someone who is in emotional anguish and anxiety. PFA is a technique based on the concept of human resilience. Its goal is to restore emotional balance and prevent the development of further psychological scar. This is done by attending to the emotional crisis and reducing its distress reactions. It is described by mental health experts as "acute intervention of choice". Your willingness to learn psychological first aid has the power to positively impact the lives of those who are struggling with trauma and crisis. By equipping yourself with these skills, you can be a source of comfort and support to those who need it most, and help them on their journey towards healing and resilience. Your efforts can make a real difference in the world. Register at: https://forms.gle/pKchCvaeutSyYzjM8

This applies to caregiving too, hope that it inspires caregivers here. The Cockroach Theory for Self-Development At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue and threw it out of the restaurant. Was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behaviour? It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies. it's our reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life. Lessons learnt from the story: I understood I should not react in life. I should always respond. The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded. Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of. A beautiful way to understand LIFE. The HAPPY person is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life. He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right! For the full story, click here.

The need to shoulder the caregiving of an older family member is becoming increasingly common among many Singaporeans. Most older Singaporeans are expected to age in place, rather than being placed in a nursing home. Thus, family caregivers are key to ensuring that their needs are met. The need to adapt to their care recipients’ diverse and changing needs is one of the multiple challenges that family caregivers often face. A baseline data collection of the ‘Caregiving Transitions among Family Caregivers of Elderly Singaporeans’ (TraCE) survey was conducted, from April 2019 to May 2020, to obtain an up-to-date picture of family caregiving for older adults in Singapore. 278 primary family caregivers of Singaporean older adults aged 75 years and above were interviewed.

Regular screening can detect polyps or colorectal cancer early and increase cancer survivorship. Screening tests such as the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is safe, easy to do, and can be carried out in the comfort of your home. It should be done once a year.
