Mental Health x Community
Join us!
Events Facilitators
At IASH, we are looking for people keen to help us host events. Some upcoming events that we are planning include:
​
- Peer support groups (which we call empathy circles)
- Community Events such as hiking, board games and arts and craft
- Topical workshops like our "Kopichats" or :Open Heart Convos" event!
​
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:)
​
These sessions are planned to be in-person, either at our space at Holland Close or anywhere in Singapore!
Join our Social Media Team.
We are looking for writers, graphic designers and / 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.
​
Otherwise, we are in the midst of creating new mental health content videos to be shared on Youtube. We do have a small team of volunteers that you'll be joining in this endeavour together :)
​
And if you've got a story for us to share via a short video on our youtube channel, let us know too :)
Join us as a HEAR BUD.

This is so that we get to meet you in person and you can demonstrate commitment to a mental health cause okay?
