KUCHING: The Japan International Cooperation Agency (myJICA) Alumni Society of Malaysia will be organising a programme focused on elderly care and mental health of caregivers at Lions Nursing Home, Stutong Baru here on October 26.
Its president Norazizul Abdul Aziz said that this initiative aimed to address behavioural issues among senior citizens, assess health statuses, and provide mental health insights to nursing home staff.
“It is important for the staff in any nursing home to equip themselves with a number of skills including communication skills, listening skills, stress management skills as well as improving their nursing care skills,” he said in a statement today.
The programme will feature lectures by two distinguished myJICA Alumni, namely Dr Razjeh Robert Drahman and Dr Azizah Saie, a psychiatrist at the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH).
In collaboration with SGH and Lions Nursing Home, the event is expected to be officiated by JICA Malaysia Chief Representative and attended by representatives from SGH, Lions Nursing Home, myJICA President, myJICA Exco, and myJICA Sarawak Alumni.
A meeting with myJICA Sarawak Alumni members will also be held in conjunction with this programme.
