Patron of Tze Hng Wellness Studio: Mr Yeo Guat Kwang, MP for Aljunied GRC

The positive dimension of mental health is stressed in WHO's definition of health as contained in its constitution: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Mental health promotion is an umbrella term that covers a variety of strategies, all aimed at having a positive effect on mental health. The encouragement of individual resources and skills and improvements in the socio-economic environment are among them.
In conjunction with World Mental Health Day 2007, Aljunied-Hougang CCC and Silver Ribbon (Singapore) aunched Tze Hng Wellness Studio, a joint community project which is the first of its kind in Singapore to promote positive living on 28 Oct 2007. This project is supported by VCF Pilot Project Grant by National Council of Social Service.
This wellness studio comprises of 5 components. They are: Employment Resource Centre (ERC), Weekly Psychological Centre (WPC), Training Centre (TC), Activity Centre (AC), and a library.
Complimentary Counselling Service (CCS)
The consequences of untreated mental illness could be shattering, leading to unnecessary disability, homelessness, unemployment,
incarceration and even suicide. The CCS will offer complimentary mental health screening and counseling for the residents
via appointment so that they could seek for early treatment and aware of the available mental health services.
Pls contact 6386 1928 or email info@silverribbonsingapore.com to fix an appointment.

Computers for online job search

Work Care Agent for job placement
|
The ERC provides the residents with assistance in the process of job application. Many residents often do not have such job-seeking necessities such as internet access, newspapers, and computers, therefore the ERC offers access to all these communications tools. In addition, we are collaborating with Work Care Agent to provide job placement. Please contact them at 6285 1516 for more information.
Training Centre (TC)
This wellness studio would serve as a training centre for recovered patients with mental illness.By receiving training in this centre, it gives an opportunity to the recovered patients to meet people and interact with them, breaking social isolation. It helps build self-esteem and self-respect. It gives structure to the day and the week. It makes leisure time more meaningful. And it is a distraction from illness.
These recovered patients could assist with the day-to-day administrative needs of the Wellness Studio such as typing, filing, photocopying, as well as ensuring that activity and job-related information boards are kept current. They would receive a certificate of participation upon the completion of the training programme.
Library
Reading materials on different types of illnesses and coping skills would be displayed to enrich residents’ health literacy.
Activity Centre (AC)
As there are indications that there might be a correlation between certain physical illnesses and depression, we would be organizing talks and activities for the residents.
