Mindful Academic Coaching
A free one-to-one coaching to secondary school students to help them in their studies and to better manage themselves.
Internship
A structured program for students aged 15 and above provides life skills, mental-resilience development and self-discovery opportunities.
Mental Health Literacy
Our signature mental health program targeted at schools is called Lighthouse. We have partnered with Tan Tock Seng Hospital (Psychiatry Department) and Harvard Medical School.
Under this program, we promote early identification of mental health conditions, help-seeking behaviour, and youth mental health education. As part of our outreach, we conduct talks and workshops for schools and other organisations working with youth. A change in mindset, exemplified by stigma reduction and increased help-seeking among youth, is also needed.
Enrichment Activities
It is critical that youth form social connections, discover and harness their talents, and develop their social skills. We organise various activities, including movement and dance, art & craft, and design communications.
Mindful Academic Coaching
In addition to academic coaching, this program seeks to help students with social, emotional and communication skills.
