Mental Health:
Democratising Mental Health
for All
Why it matters
Mental health is an escalating area of concern and we’re committed to supporting solutions for it, whether in the resources we invest or the relationships we nurture. We believe in mental health models that build capabilities, provide accessible solutions, and connect affected individuals to larger communities of care.
How it’s unfolding
Through WWF’s Rooted in Nature program, guided mindfulness walks connect 240 participants each year, including students, seniors, adults with special needs, and migrant workers with Singapore’s natural spaces, improving mindfulness and reducing stress.
At NUS Mind Science Centre, up to 8 master’s students in the Clinical Mental Health and Psychotherapy program are fully funded as Saverin Scholars each year. The Saverin Scholars are carefully selected across a range of disciplines, professions, and life stages. Mental health is a multifaceted challenge, and we believe that a greater diversity of persons who are equipped with the latest mental health know-how will go on to make a difference in the lives of many.
With Impart, EESF supports the largest model of community-focused mental health care in Singapore, reaching 1,200 youths each year through direct mental health interventions, crisis support, and developmental opportunities across various aspects of need and interest. This holistic model of community mental health ensures that youths don’t simply have symptoms treated, but are well supported through these crucial years of growth. Over 100 former beneficiaries return each year to regularly volunteer with the organization, proving that when care takes root in community, it grows into lasting resilience.
