The panel discussion is getting started together with the Principal Investigator, film maker, and partners from the social service sector. "Why are community-lead initiatives like this film so important?"

[SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute @SD_GHI]

The film screening for Being Family is starting soon 🎬 We are excited to showcase this a media-based mental health intervention designed to strengthen family bonds and reduce violence against children. More updates to follow!

At yesterday’s Climate & Mental Health workshop, @RenzoGuinto & team introduced the Climate Emotion Wheel (credit: psychologist @RobertPlutchik) to help 100+ participants navigate climate emotions—anxiety, hope, grief & resilience.

How does climate change make you feel today?

[SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute @SD_GHI]

The final panel highlights that not all health issues can be mitigated. Healthcare workers face immense mental stress, alongside crises like tropical cyclones & COVID-19.

Leadership must be their voice—championing justice for them & the wider community. #GMHasia2025

[SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute @SD_GHI]

Sena made a powerful point in our panel: It’s not about building resilience—we are already resilient.

It’s about being proactive, learning from the past, and implementing interventions that create real change. E.g training families as mental health responders. #GMHasia2025
