When you are stressed out, do you know how and where you can find mental health support and resources within your organisation? In Vietnam, stress is the biggest challenge affecting workplace productivity. But not every employees know what they can do about it. Cassandra Loh, our VP, Partnerships & Solutions, recently spoke in a seminar CCI France Vietnam - CCIFV in Ho Chi Minh Cit where she shared why prioritising mental health is critical for businesses and the hidden costs of employee burnout. One of the things she dwelved into, alongside Son Bui, the Director of Business Development, Marketing & PR of Vui App by Nano Technologies, is the importance of having innovative strategies that’ll enhance employee benefits. That’s why Intellect is intentionally made available through multiple platforms and work with localised providers so that we can offer readily-available resources to Vietnam’s workforce and make a positive impact by addressing the full continuum of mental healthcare 🌟

Thank you Caleb Tan for welcoming and sharing your work with us on a Friday late afternoon at 4:30pm - that is dedication or what :) From the visit, we learned about the success and challenges of building, implementing, and evaluating tech tools for the public good. Our class was a social work course on Evaluation. Visiting MOHT was a follow-up to a seminar on the evaluation and development of tech tools in Social Work (I will link slides in a separate post). Certainly, the range of tools and products at MOHT gave us a lot to think about and be inspired. One thing to encourage my fellow social workers on this LinkedIn platform: There is a lot we can contribute to the development of digital tools. We should find any opportunities to be on any tech teams to give our thoughts and ideas so that we can shape the tool to be effective for clients.
Mental health isn’t solely a healthcare issue; it’s a societal concern. 🍃 We hosted a group of National University of Singapore Social Work students last week and explored how the healthcare and social sectors can work together to address mental health issues. 🤝 There are already numerous initiatives by National Council of Social Service (NCSS) but I think we can do more and do better on cross-sector collaboration to address the social factors that affect wellbeing. 🎯 Thanks for the invitation, Gerard Chung! It was a pleasure sharing about mindline.sg’s efforts in this space. 🔵 Looking forward to future collab opportunities. #mentalhealth #socialwork

To say that Intellect shares great synergy with Singapore’s strategy is a great understatement. Notably, we’ve made great strides in the three focal areas they identified: To enhance the capabilities of service providers for early identification and intervention, we’ve launched a screening tool called Intellect Dimensions and become the sole licensed provider of Mental Health First Aid™. To promote mental health and wellbeing, we’ve ran roadshows in community and tertiary settings, and even developed a library of content for Mindline.sg. To improve workplace mental health and wellbeing, we made coaching, counselling, and psychotherapy radically accessible to employees at Singtel, NUS, and SPH, to name a few. These sessions are complemented by in-app CBT programs, which have been proven to improve psychological resilience within 24 hours. Plus: what the government calls a tiered approach is the same “continuum” on our lips for three years and counting. Here’s how Intellect is already bolstering Singapore’s national mental health and wellbeing strategy: https://lnkd.in/dxjyrNS7 #Intellect #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealt #mentalwellbeing #corporatewellbeing #wellbeing #wellbeingstrategy #Singapore #MHFA #mentalhealthfirstaid

In light of Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's recent announcement concerning mental health priorities in Singapore, we at ThoughtFull - Employee Mental Wellbeing, applaud the government's dedication to tackling this vital issue. As the significance of mental health is increasingly acknowledged both within #Singapore and globally, initiatives such as the expansion of public-sector psychiatrists and psychologists, along with the integration of mental health services into polyclinics and GP clinics, represent significant strides forward. As active participants in the mental wellness ecosystem, our collaborations with various sectors, including academia, healthcare providers, insurers, and regional employers, closely align with the national agenda outlined by DPM Wong. Our objective remains steadfast, that is to ensure genuine access to affordable mental healthcare for all individuals, regardless of their background. Through forging partnerships and advocating for meaningful initiatives, we are always striving to contribute to closing gaps in mental health services and fostering awareness of #mentalhealth conditions. The acknowledgment of mental health stressors across different demographic groups, including youth and the elderly, underscores the importance of comprehensive strategies. We are committed to playing our part in-line with the government's endeavours, acknowledging the necessity for ongoing evolution and updates to address the dynamic nature of mental health challenges. Through our mission, we remain committed to achieve significant progress towards a mentally healthier Singapore as well with those across the region. #aThoughtFullWorld #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness https://lnkd.in/gMgkFEay

Registered Clinical Psychologist (MSCP, MAHPC, SRP) - Specialized in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and intervention
Sometimes, it's good to take a step back and reflect on what we're doing and how we're doing it. For those who have been following my posts, it's not difficult to notice my passion for evidence-based practice, especially in the field of mental health. The reason is twofold: (1) to ensure that our practices are guided by data, giving us confidence that our methods are effective, and (2) to provide a clear understanding of when things don't go well, attributing issues to factors beyond our control, such as cultural differences, and adapting accordingly. This is crucial if we wish to be recognized in the helping profession. We go beyond just talking and making people feel good. We have actual evidence to support our methods and the confidence that we can improve mental health outcomes. While the logic seems simple to follow, many practitioners prefer to practice as they please, with no proper guidance or structure. I've always questioned this approach: How do these practitioners know what helps their clients? Is it the loosely adhered modality? The client's mood of the day? Or is it their unique presence that only they can bring, and no other professionals can? With that said, I've decided to take a localized view and see what has been done for young people aged 10 to 24 years old, to understand what's actually available. The rationale is simple: I want to see policies, interventions, and programs adapted culturally to fit our current context. In short, I don't believe in just copying from the West and pasting onto the East. We are humans, and we are bound to be different. If those programs don't work, can we be 100% sure it's because of the programs' lack of efficacy? Or are we missing the point that we haven't tested them within our context to see if they even work to begin with? What is out there for our young people? Or is there anything out there for them? Hence, I started this review with my colleague and friend, Kah Hui Yap, to answer these questions. 2 cents. With that said, and in conjunction with Singapore's upcoming National Day, I'm proud to share our work with all of you here, and I hope it helps you understand a little more about the current landscape. PS: I'm looking for partnerships for more reviews of similar trends. If you are interested, please let me know, and we can see how we can work together. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthprofessionals #psychology #clinicalpsychologist #reflection #learning #thinkthoughts #linkedin

Calling out to HR in Finland and internationally - we have piloting options available! This year, Mental Health Week in Finland is celebrated on November 19-26, 2023. The theme of November's mental health week this year is #emotions. We have a tendency to give a lot of weight to thoughts and emotions. When they get too much power, they can even paralyze us, negatively affecting work and everyday life. You know it, we know it. However, how the thoughts and feelings are handled, can be changed. This will release time and energy to do the things we actually should be doing, such as performing the necessary work tasks. Easier said than done? Then, let's practice! Working with more flexible handling of thoughts and emotions is included in one of the core modules of our Wells course. Wells Finland R2B offers now piloting opportunities for 2024 to our deeply researched course on well-being and working skills. The first company pilot course of 2024 starts in January and is available in Finnish and English. The course includes evaluations of experienced mental health and work well-being at the beginning and the end - as well as an impact evaluation process. Want to learn more about the well-being of your employees and how our solution can help in improving it? Check out the link in comment and contact us for more info! Happy mental health week! #wellbeing #workingskills

💡 Did you know that empathy-driven technology can play an important role in mental health support for youth? On this Singapore National Youth Day, we wanted to share a key learning from our Myloh project, an innovative personalised e-Buddy designed to support mental health journeys. One major insight from this case study is the importance of empathy-driven technology in mental health support. Through Myloh, we learned that personalised interactions significantly enhance user engagement and emotional connection. By tailoring the experience to each individual's needs, Myloh fosters trust and provides a sense of companionship, making users feel seen and understood. This personalised approach not only improves engagement but also empowers users to take proactive steps in their mental health journeys. Our collaboration with healthcare professionals and users revealed that technology can play a pivotal role in mental health support when designed with empathy at its core. As we continue to innovate and develop such solutions, we are committed to making mental health support more accessible and effective for young people.

📊 A mere 20% of those grappling with mental health issues seek professional help (2019 National Health & Morbidity Survey, RELATE Malaysia) This stark underutilization of available resources stems from a dual challenge 🧠 scarce mental health resources 🙈 entrenched stigma surrounding mental well-being Malaysia faces a critical shortage of mental health professionals, evident in the meager ratio of 1 psychiatrist per 100,000 people. This falls far below the World Health Organization’s recommended 1:10,000 ratio. This scarcity amplifies the hurdles individuals face in accessing vital mental health care. Complicating matters is the enduring stigma surrounding mental health. Despite a growing awareness, workplace policies remain inadequate and reactive. Employers often address mental health concerns only in the aftermath of crises, lacking a proactive and preventive approach. We invite you to join us in combating this crisis. Let’s not just raise awareness but take concrete steps to implement mental health policies in workplaces. By partnering with us, we can collectively foster a culture that not only acknowledges mental health concerns but actively works towards prevention and support. 💁🏻♀️ Together, let’s champion workplaces that authentically prioritize the mental well-being of their employees. #RecoverNowMalaysia #workplacementalhealth #RELATEMalaysia #mentalhealthstatistics #mentalhealthcare
