“I work in the advertising tech space, doing sales and business development. As a passionate advocate for mental health, I started Prompts.co, a social enterprise centered around the promotion of mental health and wellness amongst youth via purposeful tools and products.
I work closely with Jolin, a health and fitness enthusiast who is also a member of Prompts. We volunteer at HCSA Dayspring Residential Treatment Centre (DRTC) mostly during the school holidays, where we help organise workshops that equip the HCSA DRTC girls with tools to navigate challenges they may encounter in life. We’re also working on a mental health storybook project with HCSA DRTC, where we hope it helps the girls be more comfortable with sharing about their experiences and recovery journeys.
Our volunteer experience with HCSA has been a memorable one so far. It touches our heart whenever the girls express their appreciation to us for being there for them. It is also humbling to hear that despite all they’ve been through, they still desire to give back to society one day.
Volunteering with HCSA has made us realise the nuances of working with youths and has strengthened our mission in wanting to do more for them.”
