She also pointed out that the guide offers a comprehensive set of positive behavioural alternatives that nurture a more inclusive family and
community environment while boosting the psychological well-being of elderly people. The guide’s content also aligns with our core values
and the nation’s vision for safeguarding the dignity and prosperity of individuals at every stage of life.
Furthermore, Al Rumaithi said that through the ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’ guide, FDF seeks to take a significant step towards
raising community awareness on emotional care for senior citizens. It also aims to highlight the importance of understanding well-
intentioned practices that might unintentionally leave deep psychological impact, while fostering a family and community environment
based on the pillars of respect, love and genuine appreciation for the experience and wisdom of the elderly.
She confirmed that the guide prioritises the well-being of the elderly and said, “We dedicate this guide to everyone who understands that
caring for our senior citizens is not simply a social commitment, but it is an act of awareness, fairness, and mature emotion, one that
considers dignity as something not to be granted, but to be safeguarded. It is for those who believe that compassion is more than intent, it
is deep recognition, emotional presence and respect for experience. It is for those who wish to be a source of reassurance, not a burden; a
comforting hand, not a controlling one. The guide is a message of love translated into daily practices that restore their rightful place, offer
lasting appreciation, and foster unbreakable belonging.”
After concluding the press conference, various events were held alongside a series of public discussions that highlighted the key themes
of the ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’ guide. It included a presentation of the ‘Proactive Steps for Protecting Senior Citizens’ training
programme to improve skills and knowledge in conscious care practices.
