What we Do?
SAGE Counselling Centre aims to promote the well-being of older person with a special focus on the social and psychological aspects of their health through engaging, enabling and empowering them in active ageing.
“We believe one is never too old to learn and to serve.”
To encourage and empower seniors to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives — not just for personal growth and life-satisfaction, but also to contribute to the community — we have initiated “upsteam”, developmental programmes and serviecs to facilitate active ageing
Our Programs
expressive art therapy
The programme aims to help seniors gain a better understanding of their lives through
- active participation in expressive therapeutic activities under the guidance and supervision of art therapists
- rediscovering the personal meaning of inner and social lives
- using the available interpersonal tools to promote interaction and communication with others
- stimulating the intellectual, physical and emotional faculties which can aid towards the fulfilling of individual potential
- developing a healthy sense of ego strength
This programme was launched in 2018. To date, 16 runs – 116 seniors completed the programme. Art exhibitions were held periodically in public spaces (eg. JCube Shopping Mall, Visual Art Centre) to showcase the seniors’ art works. You can now view them on this site!
music ambassador program
The programme aims to promote active ageing and enhance the quality of life of seniors through
- providing opportunities to learn a new skill – playing the ukulele
- promoting positive mental health through social interaction with peers and group learning
- enhancing their self-esteem and confidence through mastering a new skill & performing in front of an audience
- enhancing their cognitive functioning through the learning process – motor skills & memory recall etc.
- helping them achieve a sense of achievement and satisfaction from contributing to the community through performing and bringing cheer to fellow seniors
Launched in 2018, our first of Ukulele for beginners ushered our first 12 Music Ambassadors at the completion of the course. They continue to attend music jamming sessions, learning new and classical songs and spreading the joy of music to audiences. They have since performed at St Andrew Cathedral Home for the Aged, Jurong Community Hospital, New Horizon Centre (Alzheimer’s Disease Association) and seniros’ art exhibition organized by our own Centre.
To date, 2 run – 40 Music Ambassadors were trained.
