Dear CaringSG members,
As a caregiver of two, I understand that caregiving can be exhausting, both physically and emotionally. On some days we feel like on top of the world, and on others the weight of the setbacks can feel like the heaviest of weights.
But here’s what I’ve realized: it’s on the stormiest days that we discover our true strength.
Let’s not forget that what we do is extraordinary. Every single day, we make a significant difference in someone else’s life. No act of love, no matter how small, ever goes unnoticed.
We are not just caregivers; we are life-changers, warriors, unsung heroes.
So right now I wish to say thank you. Thank you for your tenacity and your selfless love. Each one of you is a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for the ones you care for, and for the entire community.
Let’s keep leaning on each other, learning, growing, and most importantly, CARING.

Teaching children about sexuality and healthy relationships is never an easy task, and for parents of children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the challenges can feel even more overwhelming. To support caregivers on this journey, CaringSG recently hosted a webinar featuring expert insights and heartfelt sharing from both a professional and a parent, offering practical guidance, reassurance, and hope.
