Support for Vulnerable Groups

Dream Artisans

Problem Statement

In Singapore, 1 in 10 seniors is not satisfied with their opportunities to continue achieving their dreams, aspirations, and hobbies (National Council of Social Service, 2016). They also hold negative perceptions of retirement like fear of boredom and lack of life satisfaction. Furthermore, retired seniors often experience loneliness and depressed moods, and overall, reported poor health conditions and limitations in daily activities (Duke-NUS Centre for Ageing Research & Education, 2018).

How can we encourage seniors to age well post-retirement, and develop a more positive outlook towards aging within the community?"
