VMWH plays a key role in promoting mental wellness at the community level. Our community-based programmes are designed to support mental health and foster overall well-being. These include:

Monthly psycho-education talks to raise awareness about mental health issues and reduce stigma
Support and resource groups that provide a safe space for individuals to share experiences, access mental health resources, and receive peer support
Wellness activities that encourage healthy lifestyle practices, stress management, and overall well-being
Self-help facilities where individuals can access resources, tools, and information to support their mental wellness journey
Collaborative outreach and screening to identify individuals at risk of mental health issues and provide early intervention

These programmes aim to create a supportive environment where residents can connect, learn, and access resources to maintain their mental wellness. By fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging community engagement, we promote resilience and mental well-being within the broader community.

Project Calmscape

Families with parents experiencing mental illness (PMIs) face significant challenges. Financial strain from job loss and medical costs affects children’s access to basic needs. Children also experience anxiety over the risk of inheriting mental illness. The compromised emotional availability of parents can lead to neglect or confusion, while inconsistent parenting hinders children’s development, leading to behavioral issues and isolation. Additionally, children may face stigma and discrimination, damaging their self-esteem.

Parental mental illness has significant impact in the formative years of children’s development. The group work programme has therefore been intentionally designed to cater to a younger group of children, aged between 5 to 12 years.

Through the group work interventions, we aim to offer a safe space to share experiences, build social connections, and receive psychoeducation. These programmes teach coping strategies, foster resilience, and help children manage stress, supporting their mental well-being.

In addition to group work, outreach efforts are key in identifying and providing support for these children and their families. Casework and counseling services for families and children of PMIs have also led to positive outcomes, helping to improve the overall well-being and development of both parents and children.
