On October 10, we commemorate World Mental Health Day. That was a day when we raise awareness on mental health issues and kickstart conversations on or efforts in support of mental health. For the past two years, World Mental Health Day took place amid a special time – that is, during a pandemic where the bulk of our lives have been drastically affected.

By now, we know that our mental health is equally important as our physical health. As conversations on anxiety, burnouts, and depression proliferate, along with the courageous stories of many mental health advocates, we now know that it is okay to not feel okay. And that our emotions, fears, anxiety and challenges are valid. At SNCF, we believe that it is important to keep the discourse on mental wellness, whether it’s on burnouts, or unpacking the murky feelings within you, or what it means to be mentally healthy, going.

CHAMPIONING MENTAL WELLNESS WITH THE UBUNTU SPACE

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of the everyday man and impacted the mental health of many. To better support our co-operatives, SNCF has partnered with A Good Space (AGS) Co-operative alongside one of their members, The Ubuntu Space to conduct a hands-on and experiential Mental Wellness Workshop: ReDiscovery through Play (see attached image).

Exclusive for fellow affiliates of Singapore National Co-operative Federation, the event will explore mental wellness in a workplace context, seed actionable steps for your well-being, and create a space to lean into yourself and onto others. Admission is free while venue is subjected to safe distancing measures and regulations.
