40 SSA Senior Citizens participated in the “Nurture Your Mind for Older Persons” (NYMOP) programme organised by Fei Yue Community Services. Through the three interactive workshops held at the SSA Headquarters in June and July, the NYMOP aimed to inculcate an active and optimistic approach towards ageing. In the workshops, the participants were introduced to the importance of mental well-being, engaged themselves in mental stimulation activities and learnt practical ways to foster interpersonal skills through role-playing and skits.
On 24 October 2011, the Senior Citizens came together for a afternoon “Yum Cha” (tea session) gathering cum graduation ceremony at OnePeople.sg where they played fun-filled games with participants from other organisations. They were also presented with certificates of attendance in recognition for their efforts and commitment to the programme.
