Event Details

According to the Singapore Mental Health Study (2016 – 2018), 1 in 7 people in Singapore have experienced a mental disorder in their lifetime. With increased anxiety and uncertainty about the future of work and livelihood brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not surprising that more people are seeking help for mental health issues. How should we navigate our way through such challenges?

Join Dr Andrew Tay (Medicine ’07) and Dr Kinjal Doshi from the NUS Health and Wellbeing Team in the Office of the President, who will share:

• Insights and learning experience from the #AreuOK campaign – Do campaigns work?
• Roles of employers and managers in employees’ health and wellbeing – It takes a village, but how?
• The next big bet (digital mental health bets) – So many apps, what’s next?
• What are the common trends and what works to maintain your mental health at different life stages?
