Our Mental Health

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by emotions like stress, fear or sadness that it affected your daily life? That moment is an example of mental health at play. 

Our mental health is our overall state of well-being and internal balance. It’s shaped by our environment and experiences and plays a crucial role in how we feel, socialise, and make decisions every day.

Every life transition brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. Throughout our lives, we all experience different levels of mental wellbeing, and this is especially true for children and young people who are developing their identity and going through social changes. Without the right skills and support systems to navigate these transitions, they are more likely to encounter mental health challenges.

Inside our Children’s Mind 💭

Ms Vivyan Chee, Deputy Director
and Head of Flourishing Minds

Children often feel dismissed by adults because what stresses them is different from what their parents experienced in childhood. Additionally, adults often appear busy so children choose not to “trouble” them and suffer in silence instead.

It is therefore important for parents to give dedicated attention to children and take their concerns seriously. Never underestimate the power of day-to-day interactions as they form the foundation for trusting and supportive relationships”
