Amidst the summer heat, we treated everyone to refreshingly cool soft-serve ice cream to share a sweet moment.<\/p><p>It was buzzing with excitement that day, with everyone enthusiastically participating in the event. Our elder members, caregivers, neighbours, and staff from nearby organisations not only enjoyed the delicious ice cream but also wrote encouraging messages and took photos at the photo spots. The noon time was filled with crowds and laughter. We are absolutely delighted to have celebrated and shared this sweetness with you all through the ice cream truck, bringing joy and care to everyone!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61c5939 bdt-skin-fedara-style-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-bdt-custom-gallery\" data-id=\"61c5939\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"bdt-custom-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"bdt-custom-gallery-61c5939\" class=\"bdt-custom-gallery bdt-skin-default bdt-grid bdt-grid-small\" data-bdt-scrollspy=\"cls: bdt-animation-fade; delay: 200; target: &gt; div &gt; .bdt-custom-gallery-inner;\" data-settings=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;#bdt-custom-gallery-61c5939&quot;,&quot;tiltShow&quot;:false}\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-3@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_5558-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-3@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0518-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-3@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/HOLG4337-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-589414c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"589414c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b818627\" data-id=\"b818627\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-417155d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"417155d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2 data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u5728\u6b64\u8f38\u5165...\" style=\"font-weight: 500; line-height: 24px; font-size: 24px; font-family: Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans HK&quot;, &quot;Noto Sans SC&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Microsoft JhengHei&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Yahei&quot;, &quot;Hiragino Sans GB&quot;; color: rgb(0, 64, 55); letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">Workshop on Person-Centred Group Design and Facilitation Skills: Dementia Activity Design and Practice <span style=\"font-family: &quot;Noto Sans HK&quot;, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee71d33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee71d33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Many frontline colleaguess face challenges when leading group activities, such as low participation among older adults, unexpected emotional responses, or activities that are either too difficult or too boring. Although the dedication to running a great activity never changes, facilitators sometimes feel a sense of powerlessness. In order to help colleagues overcome these hurdles, JCCPA organised a four-session &#8221; Workshop on Person-Centred Group Design and Facilitation Skills: Dementia Activity Design and Practice &#8221; for frontline staff. The workshop was hosted by our Registered Social Worker Mr. Andrew Lau, who acquired over 15 years of group facilitation experience. Andrew shared his wealth of expertise, covering fundamental principles of activity design for people with dementia, the importance of person-centred care, the &#8220;Person-Environment-Occupation&#8221; ideas, methods for adjusting activity level, essential companionship skills, and how to respond to distressed behaviours.<\/h6><h6><strong>Session 1 &#8211; [Start with Understanding: Building Warm and Compassionate Care]<\/strong><\/h6><p>Through a series of interactive activities and sharing of personal experience, Andrew explained the underlying theories and guided participants to explore the meaning of care from a &#8220;person-centred&#8221; perspective. This session helped participants enhanced the understanding on each service user\u2019s identity, life story, needs, and feelings, teaching them how to provide more attentive, respectful companionship and support.<\/p><h6><strong>Session 2 &#8211; [Through the Elders&#8217; Eyes: Crafting Tailored Activities]<\/strong><\/h6><p>This session introduced two activity design tools to help participants learn how to categorise activities and adjust the levels. Using a &#8220;Nostalgic Caf\u00e9&#8221; as the theme for group discussions, combined with practical case studies, participants learned how to identify and address the inner emotional needs of people with late-stage dementia.<\/p><h6><strong>Session 3 &#8211; [Rooted in Cause and Effect: Understanding Their Emotions and Behaviours]<\/strong><\/h6><p>This session focused on how to use person-centred approaches to manage distressed behaviours in people with dementia. Emphasising that &#8220;there is always a reason behind every behaviour,&#8221; Andrew guided participants to analyse the root causes. By adjusting the environment, reducing instructions, slowing down the pace, and utilising familiar objects, participants learned to replace control with understanding, bringing themselves closer to the elders.<\/p><h6><strong>Session 4 &#8211; [From Learning Theory to Practising &#8220;Person-Centered&#8221; Activities]<\/strong><\/h6><p>In the final session, participants put the concepts they had learned into practice by conducting a practicum for the elder members in JCCPA. They designed and led activities across four domains: cognitive, reminiscence, art, and exercise. Throughout the sessions, the elders were incredibly joyful and actively participated in every segment. This hands-on experience showed participants that leading a group is not just about &#8220;controlling the agenda,&#8221; but rather about closely observing the elders&#8217; emotions, reactions, and rhythm to make real-time adjustments. This is exactly the key to transforming theory into daily practice!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-274e1aa bdt-skin-fedara-style-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-bdt-custom-gallery\" data-id=\"274e1aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"bdt-custom-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"bdt-custom-gallery-274e1aa\" class=\"bdt-custom-gallery bdt-skin-default bdt-grid bdt-grid-small\" data-bdt-scrollspy=\"cls: bdt-animation-fade; delay: 200; target: &gt; div &gt; .bdt-custom-gallery-inner;\" data-settings=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;#bdt-custom-gallery-274e1aa&quot;,&quot;tiltShow&quot;:false}\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ITGO4956-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FIOP5760-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1783058073242-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1783058070538-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-264e838 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"264e838\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c65024\" data-id=\"2c65024\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc3813a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc3813a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2 data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u5728\u6b64\u8f38\u5165...\" style=\"line-height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500;\">\"Healing Caf\u00e9\" @ Mong Kok: A Warm Haven in the Bustling City<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Noto Sans HK&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500;\"><\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4921cce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4921cce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Following the success of May\u2019s &#8220;Healing Caf\u00e9&#8221; event, the June session took place at &#8220;Dignity Kitchen,&#8221; a unique social enterprise restaurant in the Mong Kok district. Led by our social worker, Andrew, a group of fellow caregivers gathered to share their journeys and build a mutually supportive network.<\/p><p>This event welcomed many first-time participants. After a simple and warm round of introductions, everyone filled in a stress assessment questionnaire together to check in on their current well-being and learn how to adjust their daily pace when needed.<\/p><p>The most moving part of the event was the group sharing session that followed. Participants opened their hearts to voice the daily realities and difficulties of caregiving, such as a family member with dementia refusing to cooperate during mealtimes, or becoming easily restless during long car rides. These real-life fragments resonated deeply with everyone in the room. At the same time, members exchanged practical caregiving tips and community resources. For instance, one caregiver had a breakthrough moment after hearing another member\u2019s experience, realising she was actually eligible to apply for certain allowances to help ease their financial pressure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a5400b bdt-skin-fedara-style-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-bdt-custom-gallery\" data-id=\"6a5400b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"bdt-custom-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"bdt-custom-gallery-6a5400b\" class=\"bdt-custom-gallery bdt-skin-default bdt-grid bdt-grid-small\" data-bdt-scrollspy=\"cls: bdt-animation-fade; delay: 200; target: &gt; div &gt; .bdt-custom-gallery-inner;\" data-settings=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;#bdt-custom-gallery-6a5400b&quot;,&quot;tiltShow&quot;:false}\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1782370424935-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-gallery-item bdt-transition-toggle bdt-width-1-1 bdt-width-1-2@s bdt-width-1-4@m\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-custom-gallery-inner bdt-image-mask\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"bdt-gallery-thumbnail\">\n           \n            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.jccpa.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1782370425085-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Title\">\n\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a8a3d2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3a8a3d2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-677d93c\" data-id=\"677d93c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca26fd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca26fd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2 data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u5728\u6b64\u8f38\u5165...\" style=\"line-height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500;\">Training Courses for Dementia Care<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Noto Sans HK&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500;\"><\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a33bfe7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a33bfe7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With the generous support from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant, JCCPA continues to organise the training programme for caregivers.<\/p><p>The training session focusing on \u201cEmotional Changes in Individuals with Various Types of Dementia, the Application of Relevant Psychiatric Medications, and Coping Strategies for Caregivers\u201d was successfully conducted by Dr. Chan Wai-chi, Clinical Professor from the Department of Psychiatry, School of Clinical Medicine, The University of Hong Kong.
