Training Courses for Dementia Care
With the generous support from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant, JCCPA continues to organise the training programme for caregivers.
The training course “Understanding the Distressed Behaviour of People with Dementia” was successfully conducted by our Service Manager, registered social worker, Ms. Vivian Mak on 16 March. She shared with more than 170 family caregivers about the distressed behaviour and psychological symptoms of people with dementia and how to tackle it in the short and long term. She also addressed the questions and suggestions from the caregivers, e.g. how to deal with the delusional behaviour of people with dementia such as falsely accusing others of stealing. She provided a lot of practical suggestions to the caregivers on dealing with the behavioural symptoms of people with dementia.
Registration for the caregiver training course in April 2024 is now open. The April course “Intensive Training I” and “Intensive Training II” will be held on 20 April (Saturday) at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Our registered social worker, Ms Ally Lam will introduce some basic knowledge of dementia and tactics for taking care of people with dementia in different aspects.

JCCPA offers regular training courses for family caregivers, focusing on equipping them with the skills and tactics to take care of people with dementia effectively and providing valuable solution on caring difficulties. This may help relieve the pressure of family members and help them go on the care journey with empathy.
