Synopsis
We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Our planet, our world faces many unprecedented challenges. Along with prosperity, we have population explosion, poverty, violence, conflicts, increasing inequality, the environment, and global warming. We also face an epidemic of diseases of the modernized society, diseases of both the body and the mind: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, autoimmune, autism, ADHD, chronic stress & anxiety, and depression.
Mental health is now a clear and urgent issue - the next major epidemic. Research shows that fully one in four youths in the industrialized world suffer from some form of mental health issues while growing up. Youth suicides and attempted suicides have gone up steadily over the years. Another shocking statistic: 22% of children in Singapore think about suicide. What we're seeing is only the tip of the iceberg, as the pressure, the expectation, and the stress of living in modern society continue to grow. For many, life increasingly feels like a treadmill that they can’t get off, while others experience a growing sense of loneliness, isolation, and disconnect despite living in an age of digital super-connectivity - with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, gaming, e-sport, etc - with everything going digital and all the attendant mental health challenges that come with it.

The current reality is clearly unsustainable; the need for a new approach is clear and urgent. We need a new way of thinking, a new mindset, new skills, to make new choices. Life is about making choices. The thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take – choices that we make individually – and collectively – create the reality of our world.

As parents, what roles do we need to play - what new seeds do we need to plant - what new choices do we need to make - what new skills do we need to teach - for ourselves and for our children - to help point the way to a new kind of reality for a better tomorrow - the reality of a kinder, gentler, more just, more inclusive and more sustainable world.

The physical and psychological well-being of our healthcare workers are being tested during these unprecedented times. The front-lines are delivering heroically but the shock waves from this pandemic could potentially be massive and long-lasting.



Self-care is often the first thing that gets sacrificed when life is hectic and stressful, and people often think that taking time for themselves seems indulgent. But looking after your own well-being is imperative through this challenging time, and to better care for others.


Amidst implications for individuals and collective health, incorporating self-care practices into your daily rituals can help you sustain your well-being in offering your BEST SELF in your daily interactions.

Mental wellness is not just the absence of mental illness, but the attainment of happiness and well-being.

To create positive change in your mental world and to enhance your mental well-being, you need to start by looking within; tuning into your body, your breath and your mind, in order to get your inside right.

If you are calm and happy inside, your outside world will fall into place. This is a journey in Holistic Self-Care. Join Yen-Lu Chow as he brings you along this journey to achieve inner peace and joy.

Although mentoring in the workplace has been there for a long time, the way it is structured is sometimes complicated.
Sometimes supervisors are required to be mentors and sometimes mentoring is really another word for managing performance.
What are the best ways to set up mentoring in the workplace?

Feedback on the AIM/EnactUS event on Mentoring in the Social Sphere.

“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that is very applicable to mentoring.

Our “village” has never been more necessary than it is today. We live in a fast-paced, instant information, and pressure-packed world.
Mentees also go through different stages in life, play multiple roles, that require different types of mentors, and at times more than one mentor for different parts of their life. Different mentors, with their own unique set of skills and mentoring expertise, can work with mentees to give them a well-rounded and multi-faceted mentoring environment.

This discussion is about collaboration and partnerships you need to build as a mentor with your peers to support your mentee in the best way possible.
