About This Programme

Living a long good life is a common wish for many. While the life expectancy in Singapore has risen over the years, it is the quality of life at old age that matters most. Successful ageing is multi-dimensional, encompassing the avoidance of disease and disability, the maintenance of high physical and cognitive function, and sustained engagement in social and productive activities.

The Age Well Everyday (AWE) e-learning programme aims to raise the awareness and positively influence health behaviour of individuals and communities, particularly in the areas of dementia and depression prevention. It is suitable for individuals who wants to age well successfully and volunteers of the AWE programme to acquire knowledge and skills, at their own pace and time. It comprises 6 modules on lifestyle management, dementia, depression, stroke and caregiving, 2 live sessions on Mindful Awareness Practice and a webinar session with qualified healthcare professionals. Volunteers who have completed this programme can sign up for an additional Teaching and Facilitation module to be certified as an AWE volunteer instructor.
