Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing Presents: Echoes of Memory Exhibition
The “Echoes of Memory Exhibition” took place at the Central Market from 11 to 21 September. Over the 11-day exhibition period, we received more than 13,500 visitors. The enthusiastic response from the public demonstrates the growing public concern regarding dementia and brain health.
The exhibition adopted an innovative and interactive format to guide the public towards a deeper understanding of dementia. Five main theme zones, the “Brain Age Test Zone,” “Open Dementia City,” “The 14 Risk Factors,” “Silver Footprints,” and “Memory Mailbox”, offered immersive experiences that enabled visitors to explore brain function, risk factors for dementia and prevention methods from multiple perspectives. Visitors actively participated in all interactive sections, creating a vibrant atmosphere that demonstrated the public’s strong interest in learning about brain health.
We sincerely thank every visitor who joined and supported the exhibition! Moving forward, JCCPA will continue to launch diverse outreach and educational activities to safeguard brain health together and build a dementia-friendly community.
Cross-Sector Synergy: Safeguarding Memory — Sharing Session on Primary Healthcare and New Models of Medical-Social Collaboration for Dementia
The Sharing Session was conducted on 16 September at Central Market. The event was attended by approximately 100 professionals from various organisations, fostering lively exchange and discussion.
The session featured insightful exchanges and in-depth discussions from multiple cross-disciplinary speakers. Special thanks go to the following guest speakers and representatives for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend:
- Prof. Timothy Kwok: Shared the latest medical intervention strategies for dementia;
- Prof. Alice Chong: Shared the eldercare blueprint and the role of caregivers in promoting medical-social collaboration and primary healthcare for dementia;
- Prof. Steve Fong: Introduced Hong Kong Shue Yan University’s Caregiver Information Network and how technology assists caregivers;
- Mr. Jim Cheung: Introduced the Hong Kong Council of Social Service’s action strategies for dementia services and dementia standards in the Greater Bay Area;
- Dr. Law: Introduced the role of family doctors in driving primary healthcare development for dementia &
- Representatives from co-organising partners of the “JCCPA Health” project.
Looking ahead, the Jockey Club “Brain Health” Dementia Screening and Community Support Project will continue to promote “Early Detection, Early Diagnosis, Early Intervention”, by supporting individuals with memory loss concerns through preliminary screening and appropriate follow-up services to collectively construct a more robust community support network.
"Healing Café" @ Tai Po: Listening and Sharing
The “Healing Café” took place at “I Love You Too Café”, a cosy café in Tai Po. Led by Social Worker Andrew, a group of fellow caregivers gathered to share their hearts and build a supportive peer network.
During the event, participants opened up, expressing their accumulated stress and worries. Andrew provided an analysis of “automatic thoughts” (also known as thought traps or irrational thoughts), helping participants realise that certain subconscious worries are not actual problems themselves, but rather unhelpful patterns that add unnecessary physical and emotional strain. He encouraged everyone to pay attention to bodily warning signs in daily life and practice pausing negative thoughts to give themselves space to rest and shift their mindsets.
Long-term caregiving responsibilities may unconsciously lead caregivers to revolve their entire lives around their care recipients, slowly neglecting themselves and feeling exhausted. “Healing Café” ensures caregivers’ voices are heard and understood. These brief gatherings provide not only relief from pressure, but also allow participants to become companions to one another, bringing warmth and support to their long caregiving journey.
Training Courses for Dementia Care
The training course “Physical Functioning Changes across Stages in Dementia, Advance Directives, and End-of-Life Care Preparation for Caregivers” was successfully conducted by solicitor Ms. Olivia Leung, JCCPA’s board member, on 19 September. She shared practical insights with around 250 family caregivers regarding “The Three Instruments of Peace” and key considerations when making the respective arrangements.
JCCPA regularly organises caregiving skills courses for family caregivers and provides effective solutions and support tailored to their needs and challenges, aiming to alleviate their stress and foster mutual understanding.
