Community Resource, Engagement and Support Team (CREST) works together with community partners to provide a mental healthcare network for clients and caregivers.
CREST focuses on outreach and provides psychoeducation and screening for dementia and other mental health conditions in persons aged 40 and above. Some of the talks and workshops conducted include, “Staying Connected with People with Dementia” and “Let’s Talk about Dementia”.
Through our online programmes and physical community outreach, our CREST teams have increased awareness of dementia and mental health conditions in the community with programmes.
