Mental Health x Community
Join us!
Support Group Facilitators
At IASH, we run Peer Support groups on a weekly basis called "Empathy Circles". These are all volunteer-led groups where lived experience is seen as a strength!
​
Join us if:
-
You're someone with lived mental health experience and lend your empathy and understanding to others
-
You're interested in facilitating groups and have experience in mental health spaces

You'd just like to help out and listen to the stories of others
​
These sessions are planned to be in-person, either at our space near Bishan Park or anywhere in Singapore!
Community Events Facilitators
At IASH, we are also looking for people keen to help us fun community events on a monthly basis. Some of these include:
​
- Hikes and walks in nature
- Boardgame days!!!
- Arts and crafts like crochet, watercolours, painting, doodling, bracelet making etc!
- Karaoke too!
​
If you have an idea or particular experience / skillset that you think you can introduce and help lead a group beyond the above, just let us know below too:)​
Join our Social Media Team.
We are looking for writers, graphic designers and / ig reel makers or story tellers who are interested in joining us to push the mental health frontier in Singapore!
We could really use some help brainstorming ideas and designed posts for our social media account @iash.sg.
