Providing Mental Health Support to Children and their Parents and Guardians is one of our new key focus
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about increased in stress that children and their parents and guardians experienced, particularly those from low-income families who face multiple challenges and additional challenges beyond pandemic-related stress.
With the awareness that there’s a gap in how mental health issues are identified at home and in school, NTUC First Campus’ Child Support Model will evolve its current forth pillar, Health and Nutrition Support, to form the new Health and Well-being support pillar.
Part 1
At NTUC First Campus, the mental well-being of our children, parents and guardians are a priority.
In this three part series, we have gathered people of different age groups and asked them about ‘stress’ related questions – what does stress mean to them and what causes them to feel stress.
Part 2
How do you know when you are feeling stressed, angry or sad? How do you resolve these feelings?
As part of NTUC First Campus’ new key focus of providing mental health support to children and their parents and guardians, we have gathered and interviewed people of different age groups.
Part 3
To conclude the three part series about mental well-being, we have asked interviewees about what gives them strength to push through difficult times, and what makes them happy.
A positive mental well-being state is important and as an employer brand, NTUC First Campus’ prioritises that of our staff.
