AIC expands community care teams to assist clients with mental health conditions

16/9/2019

Over the past seven years, more than 19,000 clients have received support from community intervention teams in the form of assessments, counselling and caregiver education. Stella Lin, 50, is the main caregiver to her 88-year-old mother-in-law who has depression and dementia. Her mother-in-law’s severe mood swings had resulted in frequent tensions among the family members. Stella’s case was referred to Fei Yue Community Services’ community intervention team by a polyclinic. The team provided her with support at home to better manage her mother-in-law’s condition. There are currently 20 community intervention teams and 39 community outreach teams set up by the Agency for Integrated Care. Click here to view news video (10:09 - 12:03).

An online version of the booklets can also be found in Singapore Silver Pages website.
