Project Details :

The project is aimed at women because urinary incontinence is more common in women especially those who have reached menopause. Participants will attend monthly workshop which will provide an open place for people to meet talk about their experience and concerns, get advice and information from professionals.

01

Urge Incontinence

Occurs when there is a strong and quick need to urinate right away and leakage happens before you make it to the toilet.
02

Stress Incontinence

Occurs when you leak urine during activities that puts pressure on the bladder such as running, jumping, lifting, laughing, sneezing and coughing.
03

Overflow Incontinence

Occurs when your bladder doesn’t empty completely when you urinate resulting in a spill overtime instead of one big gush of urine.

What We Did :

At Glance...

Basically, the workshop focused on types and causes of urinary incontinence and the lifestyle changes to manage urinary incontinence. The aim is to empower women with the knowledge they need about these conditions, provide support and signpost those who need further advice to the appropriate service.

  • Developed Educative Materials
  • Group Workshop (Q & A)
  • Sharing of Lived Experiences by Participants
  • Signposting to GP's and Relevant Services for Support

Final Results :

The project is unique as it offered individuals the necessary information on what to look out for about their health that ultimately reduces incontinence.

Other benefits from the project includes bringing people together for friendship, sharing of lived experience and connecting them to resources within their community for optimal health and wellbeing and creating a community of support that encourages healthy lifestyle choices and long-term wellness through cross-sector partnerships.
