Ways We Support

Educational Talks and Workshops
Educational Talks and Workshops

We work actively with schools and the community through our outreach and education initiative, Resilience In The Everyday (RITE), that aims to: 

  • Increase mental health awareness and literacy 
  • Build resilience in individuals and families through public education 
  • Promote healthy habits for better mental health and overall wellbeing

Our outreach platforms include: talks, forums, events, workshops, training and social media. Email us for enquiries or collaboration opportunities.

Social Media Outreach

We reach youths through social media to share mental health resources, positive messages and provide an avenue for them to reach out for help and support if they have any concerns.

Mental Health Screening

We conduct mental health screenings for youths to assess and gain insights into their mental wellbeing. This allows us to pick up early signs and symptoms of mental health conditions and point them to relevant resources and support. 

Screening sessions are:

  • Conducted one-on-one via face-to-face sessions, online video calls or phone calls
  • Only available for youths aged 13 to 25
Intervention and Emotional Support

We listen to youths and conduct mental health screenings to assess their needs. This allows our team to determine the most appropriate intervention. Intervention modalities practiced include: 

  • Individual therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, etc)
  • Group work
  • Family sessions
  • Step-down care activities (holiday programmes)

The programme lasts for a maximum period of 12 months or 12 individual sessions.

Community Programmes

We conduct mental wellness programmes during the school holidays to provide youths with platforms for learning, interaction and support. Being a part of a group allows young people to exchange skills and knowledge with one another, which can help enhance their wellbeing and build resilience. 

Our programmes include nagomi art, book binding, creating a self-soothing kit and games day.

You can contact us or other mental health professionals to seek an opinion and explore possible options regarding how to move forward. 

You can also share resources such as our IG or Tik Tok handles which have educational material as well as links to seek help when he/she is ready. 

It is good to be open and curious about your child’s concerns and reasons for not wanting to seek help. Focus on understanding where he/she is coming from, rather than trying to force him/her to do something he/she may not be quite ready for.   

Keep a lookout for these signs when monitoring your mental wellbeing:

  • Eating more or less than usual
  • Sleeping more or less than usual
  • Loss of motivation or interest and/or lower energy levels
  • Withdrawal from social circles
  • Significant changes in behaviour and mood

Quotes

With Huixin’s support and guidance, I feel more capable of managing intense feelings and keeping myself safe. She was there throughout, from actively encouraging me to go to my first polyclinic appointment, to accompanying me to my first psychiatrist appointment at Institute of Mental Health and even visiting me while I was hospitalised. 

She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself to recover, and this means a lot to me as I didn’t know anyone else who believed in me before. She makes me think twice about attempting suicide again.
