Men’s mental health matters, yet many continue to push through stress, low mood, and burnout without reaching out.🧠

In an interview with The Straits Times, .psychiatrist, shared how a child’s early experiences with money — what they see, hear, and feel at home can shape their lifelong attitudes toward saving, spending, and security.

From the excitement of saving hongbao (red packet) money to observing how parents discuss bills or giving, these small moments form what experts call financial socialisation. When guided calmly, it builds confidence and resilience. When tied to stress or secrecy, it can sow anxiety and shame.

Dr Teo reminds parents that healthy financial lessons start with calm, honest conversations and balance between openness and reassurance.

The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) recently reminded Singaporeans travelling overseas to be cautious of drinks that may contain kratom, a plant-based substance that can cause addiction and harmful side effects.

Our Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, .psychiatrist, shared that kratom use can lead to:
⚠️ Nausea and vomiting
⚠️ Confusion
⚠️ Elevated blood pressure
⚠️ Dependence and withdrawal symptoms similar to opioids

A new national handbook has been launched to help employers better support their employees’ mental health which is an important step towards fostering healthier and more compassionate workplaces.

Developed by the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council’s Mental Well-being Committee, the handbook offers practical ways for organisations to nurture supportive cultures, set up workplace systems, and help employees return to work with confidence.

We’re proud that our psychiatrist, Dr Jared Ng contributed to this initiative, sharing his expertise as part of the WSH Council workgroup.

Building a mentally healthy workplace isn’t just good for employees, it strengthens teams, trust, and resilience across organisations 🤝💚

Singapore will be adding 500 new acute psychiatric beds by 2040, a move that strengthens access to care and brings help closer to home.

In an interview with The Straits Times, Dr Jared Ng from Connections MindHealth shared how integrating psychiatric wards within general hospitals can improve coordination of care, reduce stigma, and help families support their loved ones more easily.

💬 “It sends a message that mental health is part of health, and that people who seek psychiatric care deserve the same access and dignity as any other patient.”

🩵 Every step toward integration brings us closer to a future where seeking help is simply part of caring for our health.

No feeling is too small. No story is too heavy.
Every conversation is a chance to turn silence into hope and stigma into understanding. 🫶

Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. Stress, anxiety, and depression can affect anyone, and seeking help is a sign of strength.

This World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself and your loved ones. Share what you’re going through, prioritise self-care, and remember support is always within reach. ❤️‍🩹

Psychological First Aid (PFA) isn’t about giving advice, it’s about being present.

In a recent interview with , shared how simple acts of listening, observing, and linking people to help can make a real difference.
Many of us tend to talk more than we listen but sometimes, silence and empathy are what people need most.

PFA empowers responders, teachers, parents, and community members to shorten the time between distress and help reduce isolation and helping people feel seen and safe.

💡 When done well, it builds stronger, more compassionate communities where support begins before a crisis does.
