Research interests

  • Dementia-related care
  • Stress management and well-being strategies

Dementia care is a National Priority. During the time when I worked with people-with-dementia and their carers, I understood that there are a lot to be done to improve the dementia care provision for these population groups.

Stress management and Well-being strategies are not just for people-with-dementia and their carers. There has been a rise in number of people suffering from different forms of anxiety-related conditions and depression due to various reasons. Research in stress management and well-being is crucial as Health Promotion and Treatment Interventions.
