Community Resource Engagement and Support Team (CREST)

CREST @ Viriya is a community based outreach initiative providing support for individuals who are at risk of depression, dementia and other mental health conditions.
It also supports their caregivers with information on mental health, emotional support and resources to continue to care for their loved ones at home and in the community.

Depression and dementia often go untreated because of fear, denial and lack of family support. Caregivers may get stressed from caring for their loved ones.

CREST @ Viriya provides the following services:

• Raising awareness of mental health through outreach events to residents and caregivers
• Promote the recognition of early signs and symptoms of mental illnesses
• Provide information and support for clients and caregivers through emotional support, follow-up, and support network
• Engaging community partners and coordinate mental health training and education
