1. HELPING INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES & ORGANIZATIONS THRIVE

Mental Well-Being Programme

We offer a series of mental resilience programmes to develop individuals, families and organizations to thrive with mental resilience.

Burnout is no respecter of age, social-economic status, gender etc. Left unmanaged, it might lead to mental health challenges and greatly affect individuals and their loved ones. The Singapore Mental Health Study 2016 found that 1 in 7 people in Singapore experienced mental health challenges.

Emmaus acts as a multiplier to help individuals and organizations thrive by building mental resilience and wellness and preventing and overcoming burnout through:

 

Awareness – “From Stress to Zest” Talk

(In-Person/Online Sessions are available) –

Are current circumstances stressing you out? How do we thrive and be mentally resilient in the new normal of COVID-19?

Learn the art and science of being mentally resilient and go away with practical handles on how to deal with stress and prevent burnout.

The talk provides both knowledge and practical handles for starting to build one’s mental resilience. Successful runs has been completed in several organizations (including manufacturing, legal, travel, technological, financial, educational, healthcare and non-profit institutions etc). To date, From Stress to Zest has been attended by more than 1000 individuals*.

This carefully designed talk helps participants to explore questions including:

    • What is stress? Is the same as burnout?
    • Why should I even be bothered about it?
    • Do I, my loved one, friends and/or colleagues have burnout?
    • How does one begin to take steps to prevent or overcome burnout?

Hear from James, the Lead Thrive-Synergist of a local social enterprise on how to grow and thrive with the 5S mental resilience building strategies.

*This talk has both secular (Community Edition) and a faith-based (Christ-Follower edition) versions.

Companies may also participate in the “Grow It Forward” programme and bring this talk to another non-profit to help them prevent burnout.
