With increased life expectancy and a rapidly ageing population, dementia cases are expected to triple by 2030. It is therefore important to raise awareness of dementia and focus efforts on prevention.<\/p>\n<p>The AWE E-Learning comprises 6 online modules on lifestyle management, dementia, depression, stroke and caregiving, 2 face-to-face sessions on Mindfulness Practice and a webinar session with qualified healthcare professionals. It is open to anyone who wants to learn to age well.<\/p>\n<p>The next e-learning run begins on 13th April and ends on 31st May. It costs $200, excluding GST.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact us at <a href=\"mailto:pcmbox6@nus.edu.sg\">pcmbox6@nus.edu.sg<\/a>.

A structured programme encompassing Health Education, Exercise, Mindfulness Practice, Art &amp; Music Reminiscence, and Horticultural Therapy, which can be delivered by volunteers, is designed to delay cognitive deterioration, reduce anxiety and depression, and increase socialization \u2013 thereby delaying the onset of dementia and improving the quality of life of seniors.<\/p>\n<p>To increase training capacity for volunteer trainers and bring the programme to a wider audience, the AWE E-Learning Training Course was created in collaboration with SUSS UniLEARN and Stroke Support Station. The e-learning program replaces the earlier face-to-face teaching sessions provided to volunteers and allows interested volunteers to acquire knowledge and skills, at their own pace and time. It comprises 6 online modules on lifestyle management, dementia, depression, stroke and caregiving, 2 face-to-face sessions on Mindfulness Practice and a webinar session with qualified healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Participants who have completed the AWE E-Learning Training Course can sign up for an additional Teaching and Facilitation E-learning module to be certified as an AWE volunteer instructor.
