Description

The current situation of carers are feeling stressed and some of the old carers want to give up care for their elderly parents. These are just a small number of cases in Hong Kong. However, do you think caregivers have the opportunity to make decisions about their lives? The carers take on their identities and responsibilities suddenly and have no choice but to embrace it. Before they became carers, they lacked the relevant knowledge and experience in caring work. They could only take care of work while learning to be carers, which caused them under great pressure and felt helpless. Therefore, the planning of this project is to prepare for the role of carers in the future, and for those who have the potential to become carers as target audiences, a total of four ‘Pre-becoming Carers Design Workshops’ are provided for them to participate. Carers can have a more specific imagination and in-depth understanding of care work, and establish a positive attitude to become carers.
