WHY MINDFULNESS?
Creating a positive impact on health and well-being
Today's youth face higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. It's crucial to provide them with the necessary tools and opportunities to cope and thrive in this challenging environment.
The simple act of practising Mindfulness teaches one how to relax, focus and just breathe - enabling them to function more effectively and gain mental clarity.
WHO WE IMPACT
Empowering youths with a lifelong skill
In 2018, we initiated a successful pilot programme at the Singapore Girls Home. Our programme engaged trainers to deliver mindfulness-based initiatives, aimed at reducing stress and enhancing behavioural regulation.
Building upon this success, we have since extended our reach to include other youth and children's Homes and Shelters, such as the Pertapis Centre for Women & Girls and the Singapore Girls' Home.

OUR FUTURE PLANS
Introducing mindfulness to a younger audience
