Emotional Health - a rising concern among the next generation

Overtime, many parents have come to us expressing concerns: “…I don’t know why, but my child would be silent when I’m speaking, but then suddenly just breaks down and yells at me…“, “…I don’t know how to talk to my child anymore as they don’t share anything with me even if I asked, and that makes me scared…“, “…can you guys spend sometime talking to them, and guide them in our place if possible?“

Or, sometimes our students would express matters such as: “…it’s no use communicating with my parents, they won’t listen…“, “…sometimes I find myself stuck in a constant negative loop, thinking about the bad outcomes of my exams non-stop…“, “…I can’t sleep at night as I keep wondering about solving a problem that I’m not capable of dealing with…“

We want to help. Hence as we spent hours connecting with both parents and students, we realize sometimes, these issues aren’t too severe as a, say a mental health crisis; however, they are caused by a continuation of unhealthy emotional practices, which could result in something more severe if ignored for a long time. Due to the FACT that psychological counselling or therapy can often be very daunting, both in its professional nature and price; although mental health education and awareness has been on the rise among the public, the barrier in accessing these services is still high for a lot of families.

This leads to us developing this “Emotional Health Service” that serves as an “entry-point“, both in price and form, for families who recognize that they have this need. Families can gain an entry-level access to a service that could point them in the right direction, offer a non-judgemental listening companion, and introduce guidance to healthy emotional practices, that could sometimes, squash issues before they develop into something more severe.

What’s the goal of all this? Again, a Wholistic Education Experience. We seek to provide an experience that helps students learn and grow, so that they are ready to embark on the best designated path for them. But it is, while not impossible, but much harder for a student or family that is struggling with emotional health to realize their true potential.
