CREST-Caregivers
The CREST-Caregivers focuses on caregivers who have or are at risk of developing depression, anxiety and burn-out due to their caregiving role. The team increases public awareness of caregiving concerns, promotes identification of caregiver needs, supports caregivers in self-care and links caregivers up with support groups and counselling services where needed.
Club HEAL’s CREST-Caregivers was launched in April 2021 to support and connect caregivers who are taking care of people with mental health challenges and seniors with dementia.
The Key Objectives of CREST-Caregivers are to:
- Provide networking opportunities for caregivers
- Strengthen the relationships of caregivers to empower and help one another
- Increase public awareness of caregivers’ burnout
- Promote recognition of early signs and symptoms of mental health conditions
- Provide emotional support and access to mental health and caregiving resources
- Link caregivers to relevant agencies for further assistance
