The RayAsta Foundation announces the upcoming Graduation Ceremony for their Supervisors’ Caregiver Training program. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday June 16 at the Dominica State College, Upper Campus room BC04. This program, the first of it’s kind will place trained caregivers into the community armed with the skills necessary to care for stroke patients. Not only will they be able to care for the patients, they will have the tools necessary to set goals and targets for patients recoveries while they build back their mobility.
Jennifer Astaphan, Chair of the RayAsta Foundation, shared her thoughts: “Watching our participants complete this second phase of training is a clear reflection of their dedication and drive to strengthen both their personal expertise and the level of care available to patients in Dominica. This program has not only provided them with vital tools for supporting stroke survivors, but has also sparked a renewed passion for delivering high-quality care. Their success marks an important stride in advancing healthcare in Dominica, and I’m incredibly proud of their accomplishment. It serves as a powerful symbol of hope for those affected by stroke.
Key highlights of the Closing Ceremony include:
Certificate Presentation: Learners will be awarded certificates, symbolizing their successful completion of the program and their readiness to apply their newfound expertise in their careers. Officer in Charge, Ms. Trudy Christian from the Dominica State College, will present the certificates.
Testimonials: Learners will share their insights and reflections garnered from their participation in the training program.
Guest Speaker: Mrs. Jennifer Astaphan – Chairman of the RayAsta Foundation, known for her contributions and accomplishments in health, will inspire and motivate the graduating students with her words of wisdom.
The RayAsta Foundation Caregiver Stroke Training was conducted in collaboration with the Dominica State College and the Dominica Dementia Foundation, a ten-week intensive course that has equipped its learners with essential skills and knowledge to excel in caring for stroke patients. Throughout the course, students have demonstrated exceptional dedication and a thirst for knowledge, making the Closing Ceremony an opportunity to commend their achievements.
