Safeguarding Our Community’s Mental and Social Wellness

The Community Resource, Engagement & Support Team (CREST) provides a community safety network for seniors who have, or are at risk of, dementia, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Through CREST, seniors with dementia and mental health conditions will be able to seek early treatment closer to home. Both they and their caregivers will also be supported throughout their mental wellness journey.

CREST is a programme under the Community Mental Health Masterplan, developed by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) and Ministry of Health (MOH).

• Outreach and education to raise awareness of mental health conditions and dementia
