We See You Care

What is Caregiving?

A caregiver is someone who provides support to a person who is unable to fully care for themselves due to illness, frailty, disability or a mental health condition. This person could be a family member, relative, friend, or neighbour. Caregiving can be fulfilling and meaningful. You can be prepared for this journey to care for your loved one and to care for yourself.


Campaign Synopsis

Caregiving is an integral part of Singapore’s society but it is often overlooked. Many caregivers do not acknowledge their caregiving role. Those who do, often do not feel seen and appreciated. In response, ‘We See You Care’ aims to shine the spotlight on unseen caregivers fulfilling an invisible responsibility every day, giving them the validation and support they deserve. Here, at the Agency for Integrated Care, we want to help caregivers recognise their role, know where to go for help, and feel positive about caregiving. You don’t have to care alone, because #WeSeeYouCare.



Support for Caregivers

Roles of a Caregiver

As someone caring for your loved one, you may support them with their day-to-day activities and needs. You may also need to make key decisions on their behalf. The degree of involvement may vary. Find out more about the roles of a caregiver here.

Importance of Self-Care

Self-care means taking time to care for yourself, keeping yourself healthy and happy. Caring for yourself may relieve the day-to-day stress and recharge you for the caregiving journey ahead. Learn to recognise the signs of stress here.

Caregiver Training

Continuous learning and upskilling can help you with your caregiving. If you are a first-time caregiver, you may feel scared or unprepared. There are knowledge and skills which you can learn to create a safe and supportive environment for your loved one. Choose a course that best suit your needs. View the full list at Caregiver Training Courses e-Calendar.

Financial Assistance

You may be a caregiver who provides financial support for your loved one. You may also be a financial coordinator who handles the bills. Either way, managing finances as a caregiver is not an easy task. You can tap on the available financial grants to support you in your caregiving journey. Below are some grants and schemes to consider:

• Caregivers Training Grant
• Home Caregiving Grant
• Migrant Domestic Worker Levy Concession

Caregiving Resources

Caregivers should be equipped with caregiving knowledge, tips and tools on how to support your loved ones better. Find a list of caregiving resources, support in the community, and learn from other caregivers here.
