Upon receiving the devastating news about your loved one's health, you might find yourself suddenly thrust into the role of a caregiver without adequate preparation. To support those navigating this challenging journey, the Agency for Integrated Care C and SkillsFuture Singapore SSG, in collaboration, have developed an C-SSG Caregivers Trning Catalogue to guide caregivers through finding suitable courses that will equip them with essential skills.
The C Family Caregiving Proficiency Framework serves as a roadmap in this catalogue. It focuses on two stages: caregiver care management and care delivery. These stages encompass the planning, organization, coordination of healthcare services, self-care practices to prevent burnout, hands-on care techniques for managing health transitions over time, and more.
For those starting their caregiving journey, understanding the medical condition of your loved ones is crucial. This phase helps you plan and manage care effectively. You'll learn strategies on coordinating healthcare appointments, managing medication schedules, and setting up a support network for both you and your loved one. Additionally, self-care techniques are emphasized to ensure that caregivers mntn their health while fulfilling their responsibilities.
As you progress in your caregiving duties, the focus shifts towards practical skills needed for dly care delivery. This includes physical tasks such as managing mobility issues, performing personal care, and administering medication safely. Emotional support and communication strategies are also highlighted to help create a nurturing environment that promotes well-being.
To ease the financial burden of trning during this time, caregivers can leverage SSG's subsidies avlable from November 2023 onwards. This includes tapping into SkillsFuture Credit for paying the net cost of courses after any government assistance is accounted for. An additional benefit comes in the form of the Caregivers Trning Grant CTG, offeredC to support trning for caregivers looking after seniors, family members with disabilities, and even foreign domestic workers who may be acting as caregivers.
The m of these initiatives is to make caregiving a bit easier by providing guidance on essential skills management, care delivery, emotional resilience, and financial assistance. This ensures that you are not only caring for your loved ones but also mntning your own health and well-being throughout the journey.
