Caring for a loved one with dementiaCaring for a loved one can be very rewarding, but it also involves many stressors: changes in the family dynamic, household disruption, financial pressure, and the added workload. So is it any wonder that caregivers are some of the people most prone to burnout? When caregiver stress and burnout puts your own health at risk, it affects your ability to provide care. It hurts both you and the person you’re caring for. The key point is that caregivers need care too.  The Caregiver Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme is aimed at improving mental wellbeing at work, care, and life. The programme is conducted 2 hours per week for 4 consecutive weeks on Saturdays. This is loosely based on the research-validated Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) technique as developed by Jon Kabat Zinn. It is a form of stress relief therapy administered by psychologists and more recently implemented in corporate training programmes for mental wellness. For the caregiver training, in-person training, guided by a meditation teacher (Toby Ouvry, ex-monk, 17 years experience, teaches at INSEAD), will focus on the theory, science of meditation with hands-on guided meditations by the teacher. The digital training (through the use of MindFi) will focus on sustaining the practice without the teacher and emphasise more on integrating meditation/ mindfulness into daily routines such as meals, commutes, and work.The 4-week programme is valued at $950/person but is offered complimentary to all Step Up, Speak Out! participants and Project We Forgot community members as expenses are covered by a social impact grant from RaiSE to MindFi. Participants signed up for the programme will also receive a $150 MindFi Pro Annual Membership. Research questionnaires to be filled in by participants at the start and end of the training program.Limited slots are available, registration will close when all slots are filled up. Please register for interest and the team will get back to you with confirmation. Details/Location: Week 1: Introduction to MindfulnessDate: 03/03/2018 Time: 2pm - 4pmLocation: Core Collective (Anson Road, Tanjong Pagar MRT)Week 2: Mindfulness of Body and MovementDate: 10/03/2018Time: 10am - 12pmLocation: Alzheimer's Disease Association Singapore ARTC, #06-02 (Boon Keng MRT)Week 3: Empathy, Compassion and GratitudeDate: 17/03/2018Time: 10am - 12pmLocation: Alzheimer's Disease Association Singapore ARTC, #06-02 (Boon Keng MRT)Week 4: Everyday MindfulnessDate: 24/03/2018Time: 10am - 12pmLocation: NUS Enterprise, Blk 71 #02-01 (One-North MRT)Please ensure that you are able to complete at least 3 out of 4 classes (including 1st and 4th class) to complete the course. About Project We ForgotProject We Forgot is a community for caregivers to persons with dementia (PWDs) that provides locally-relevant support, knowledge, and access to services.
