Our Services

A community-based mental health service for youth aged 12 to 25 and their parents or caregivers.

We offer the following services:

      • Mental Health Screening
      • Emotional support (coaching & befriending)
      • Psychoeducation (individual and group)
      • Parenting support
      • Counselling & art therapy

Mental Health Literacy

Mental health literacy is the foundation for mental health prevention, stigma reduction, and increased help-seeking among youth. Promotion and prevention in mental health are not the sole responsibility of mental health professionals alone. Schools, parents and the community have a role to play.

We promote early identification and help-seeking behaviour alongside youth mental health education on common issues and symptoms. We conduct talks and workshops for schools and other organisations working with youth.

The Lighthouse Program is our signature mental health program for schools in partnership with Tan Tock Seng Hospital Psychiatry Dept and Harvard Medical School’s Dr Sara Lazar.

The three workshops are: 

  1. Mental Well-being by Dr Jerome Goh, Clinical Director, Division for Central Health and Senior Consultant, Psychiatry Department, Tan Tock Seng Hospital 
  2. The Brain Science by Dr Sara Lazar, Associate Researcher in Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital and Assistant Professor in Psychology, Harvard Medical School 
  3. Mindfulness to Reduce Stress by Adj. A/Prof Angie Chew 

 

Enrichment Activities

The pandemic has caused more young people to feel isolated. More than a year of home-based learning and virtual interaction would have limited many young people’s social development. Hence, providing more opportunities for them to come together to learn and develop social skills through activities is crucial.  

We organise various activities for students. These fun learning activities are held for youth to discover and harness talents, form social connections and develop life skills. Activities include movement and dance, information technology, art & craft and communications. 

Mindful Academic Coaching

In addition to academic coaching, this program also aims to help students with studying, social, emotional and communication skills.

Our volunteer coaches are recent graduates or students from the Institutes of Higher Learning (universities, polytechnics and junior colleges). We collaborate with partners to recruit them. Coaches are trained and supervised.

Internship

We offer a structured program for students aged 15 and above. This internship aims to develop students’ work skills and other provisions to help them develop mental resilience.

Skills development: Each intern is attached to a team in Brahm Centre to support the team’s work. The interns learn work skills and attend workshops to develop soft skills.

Self-discovery: Interns attend group art therapy and other workshops to understand themselves better.

Coaching: Each intern is assigned a personal coach who provides guidance and emotional support. The coach also helps the intern explore their strengths, aspirations and motivation to work towards their goals.

Mental resilience: Each intern must attend a mindfulness course to develop resilience and reflect on their work experience to gain insights.
