A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP FOR BUILDING STRONG, HEALTHY AND RESILIENT FAMILIES Conducted by Tan Tock Seng Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare professionals and community partners, these community health engagement programmes aim to motivate and empower families to take charge of their health, well-being and family life.

OUR VISION We Engage. We engage our patients and families through platforms such as CareConnect and CareConnect Volunteer Committee to understand their needs and feelings and to build familial relationships.

We Empower. We bring the community and healthcare partners together to co-design learning platforms and resources, tailored to the needs and health-seeking behaviours of patients and their families.

We Voice. We bridge conversations and build active partnerships with the healthcare community to improve the care experience of our patients and families.

These programmes are under our Families for Care initiative, an initiative that is a partnership between Families for Life Council and Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

We Inspire. We share inspirational stories and experiences of patients and caregivers to motivate others to make a positive impact within their families and the community.

Stroke affects everybody differently. It is normal to feel angry, anxious or depressed after a stroke. You may feel worried about work, money and relationships, and the tiredness caused by the stroke can make things worse. Designed for both stroke survivors and their caregivers, Re-Learn and Enjoy Active Living (R.E.A.L.) is a framework of wellness programmes that help both stroke survivors and caregivers navigate and manage the post-stroke recovery journey. S3 R.E.A.L. Recovery focuses on getting stroke survivors re-integrated into society, which involves taking an active approach to ensure that life goes on.
