πŸ’™πŸ€ AAA FAQ πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦³πŸ‘΅

Q. What makes AAA special?
✨
- Do you want to connect with friends from YLL, LKC, DUKE and even Nursing? If you do, AAA is the place for you!! Our cross-school LCIP is the best place to make close bonds and you will not regret!

- On top of our annual health screening, attracting >1000 residents in Toa Payoh last year, we also conduct HEAL workshops πŸ‘©β€πŸ« on topics such as healthy exercise,sleep, eating etc. to promote active ageing!
- [NEW! πŸ₯³] We will be having an added focused on building Active Ageing Communities! We get community members who are already proficient in certain areas of active ageing (eg. Mr Tan, 52, does Taichi every morning), and have them lead workshops from there! This allows our initiatives to be more sustainable, and for the community to take ownership of the project and their wellbeing.

Q. Then what's the point of having a health screening? πŸ€”
- We have 14 different modalities (eg. assessing sleep quality through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)) to assess participants' lifestyles, and refer them to our workshops accordingly (eg. Sleep hygiene and optimisation)! Targeted intervention 🎯 but all interested residents are free to join!
- [NEW! πŸ₯³] We will be screening for residents who are vulnerable for loneliness and social isolation (through the UCLA Loneliness and Lubbens Social Network Scale) and refer them to our HEAL workshops for our new social cohesion and bonding events!
- πŸ”πŸ§ To research veterans and newbies alike, we have a few active research projects going on right now! (eg. Partnering with a Dental PHD student, working on a local index to assess oral frailty!)

Hence, consider joining AAA if you like...
βœ… Building communities, a "kampong for all ages" with cross-generational bonding
βœ… Following up with participants over a long term (We still keep in touch with our residents in Toa Payoh after a year++!)
βœ… Interested in Health Education for the public
βœ… Be a part of a young CIP, open to innovation and new initiatives! (Look at all the new cool things this year!)

Our target audience: ANYONE aged 50 and above, seniors who seek to live their golden years to the fullest! and with a greater emphasis on reducing social isolation amongst our elderly this year! πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈπŸ’–

What we don't do...
🚫 Following up on chronic health conditions like diabetes or hypertension (You may be interested in Neighbourhood Health Service for this!)
🚫 Specialise in specific fields such as dementia screening and workshops (We are generalists for holistic active ageing, but you may be interested in iRemember for this!)
