In the last couple of years, we have worked with 1Youth to organise two educational symposiums focusing on the wellbeing of adolescents and teachers. These events have provided valuable insights and strategies for promoting a positive and supportive environment for both students and educators.
Focus: Mental Health in Adolescents
2022 Educational Symposium
With the support of SG Mental Well-being Network, a part of the Ministry of Culture, Community, and Youth, this symposium was organized on 5th of September 2022. With over 140 educators in attendance, Ms Rahayu Mahzam (Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Health & Ministry of Law) graced the event as the guest of honour. Experts and participants discussed how mental health is influenced by socio-cultural factors and how we can better support the mental health and well-being of today’s youths.
