Taiwan's aging population has led to a rise in dementia cases, now exceeding 320,000. Caring for these patients is complex and burdensome, and often leading significant strain on caregivers. Therefore, supporting caregivers has become a crucial issue.

Chairman Daniel Wu of the Chang Yung-Fa Charity Foundation highlighted caregivers' often-overlooked hardships. The empowerment project offers training and stress relief to support them. Family caregivers expressed gratitude, gaining knowledge, resources, and solidarity through the program.

Director of the Digital Humanitarian Association and CEO of the WaCare Telehealth Platform, Pan Ren-hao, emphasized using telehealth and digital tools to support caregivers. The platform offers resources from early dementia to end-of-life care, fostering peer support, reducing stress, improving care quality, and bridging urban-rural healthcare gaps.

The Dementia Caregiver Empowerment Project provides valuable resources and support to family caregivers in Taiwan, easing challenges and providing comfort in their journey.
