✨ Lighting the Path to Healing and Hope - A Deepavali Message from Dr Munidasa Winslow ✨

As we celebrate the Festival of Lights, Dr Winslow reminds us that Deepavali is not just about illuminating our homes, but also about kindling light within; the light of compassion, healing, and hope.

In mental health and wellbeing, this light symbolises resilience - the courage to face our struggles, the strength to support one another, and the belief that recovery and growth are always possible. 💡

May this Deepavali inspire us to care deeply for ourselves and those around us, nurturing minds and hearts with empathy and understanding. 🫶💜

From all of us at Promises Healthcare, wishing you a bright, meaningful, and restorative Deepavali. 🪔

🌟 Breaking the Cycle: Why True Recovery Goes Beyond Quitting 📰

Promises Healthcare Senior Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Munidasa Winslow shares his expert insights with The Straits Times on the growing concern of misuse in and the deeper realities behind recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Dr Winslow explains that true healing extends far beyond abstinence - it’s about understanding the “why” behind substance use, learning to manage cravings, and building healthier coping strategies for long-term change. 🫶

👉 “Recovery is an active process,” says Dr Winslow. “People can choose to abstain, but unless they address the underlying issues that drive their use, relapse is likely.”

His reflections serve as a timely reminder that addiction recovery is not just about willpower, but about compassion, self-awareness, and behavioural transformation. 🙌

📻 How ya doing, Singapore?

In this special World Mental Health Day edition on MONEY FM 89.3 “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Humphreys Neil ask: Dr Adrian Loh (Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Promises Healthcare) and Dr Jade Kua (Master Certified Coach & Founder, Jade Life and Wellness Coaching Clinic & Academy) what it truly means to move beyond awareness - and how to start building everyday resilience.

✋ Because awareness alone isn’t enough.

It’s what we do next, how we talk, listen, and show up for one another - that shapes our collective well-being. 💚

🫶 From burnout to youth anxiety, from family conversations to workplace stress, both experts remind us that mental health is not just about treatment, but about proactive care. One small step at a time: gratitude, empathy, open conversations, and the courage to seek help when needed.

Let’s make mental wellness a shared language in every home, school, and community. Together, we can build a kinder, healthier Singapore. 🌱
